12965 viewsThe far left box shows plastic removed for the HID wires and the 3-prong plug that normally goes on the halogen bulb. Make the left [driver] side slightly bigger to accommodate all wires. Should be snug! Center box shows how bulb retaining hook is moved to under the frame and the far right box shows how the retaining wire is positioned to hold the HID bulb in. It will require a slight bending of the wire but not too much because you don't want to break the spring steel!!

32886 viewsThe left cover has been modified; the right has not. The covers are not "sided", they are the same so you don't have to worry about mixing them up. Modify them both the exact same way.

Once the stop pin is removed the seat can be pushed all the way back and removed from the car.

1092 viewsHere is my Sport Classic in the new Derek Weaver vise.

I kept the original wheel stop because it is in a stronger mounting location. Using the supplied DW wheel stop would require mounting it on the vertical strip just under the lift bed. That is welded on and could possibly bend if struck too hard when rolling the bike against it. It would also require drilling two more holes...meh, why bother?

866 viewsYup, ya gotta rip the bed up as part of the removal process. It's held down very well with long staples. Bed can be removed through the hole in the roof. So, after the Riviera is re-installed and screwed down, the bed bottom goes in last and is stapled down.
