Getting passenger backrest off
Sorry for the newbie question but I did do a search first!! The space between the Nomad hard bags and backrest bracket is tight. I bought my bike used and the tool bag is missing. Was there a stubby hex key wrench in there? I am guessing that is what I will need. I looked around for some but mostly mail order. Anyone know of any hardware chains that stock them? I'll look some more.

Take the bags off first, it's only two bolts?

I did think of that. That just seems to be a pain but I suppose since I ride solo 95% of the time it isn't a big deal but my kids like to go for rides in the subdivision. Was looking for a faster alternative.

Actually now that I have removed everything that wasn't too bad. The stubby hex wrenches might help but I think the bolts are too long anyway.
