Removing Passenger Grab Bars

[Slagiatt]

Obviously, this is a non-mechanic posting this.

Can you remove the F3 passenger grab bars by just removing those visible screws? And, if so, is there anything else that might mysteriously pop out or fall to the ground when you do? (I do so hate surprises.)

The reason I'm asking is that I believe I'll be able to mount saddlebags on those short "posts" that hold the grab bars on, but I have to temporarily remove them first.

So, will this be as simple as it seems, or will the back tire fall off :roflblack: or some other part that doesn't seem obviously related, get misalligned in the process) as I'm losening the screws?
:dontknow:

As I see it..!!

the two outter (M8x30) ones and there is a tab going under the seat by the forward bolt with one more (M4x10). That should do it...:thumbup: this according to the parts catalog. Maybe someone has a shop manual...

I posted this in another thread, http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?77849-F3-Panel-Removal&p=940743#post940743

BRP has these diagrams on their site.

The above link has links to the F3 diagrams ( and other Spyders ).

The Pro Caliber site has lot of other cool stuff on it though.
