watching a vid on u tube the guy says its easier to remove the rear wheel if the drive shaft cover is removed -but if a hole is drilled through the "plastic" cover you can access the bolt without removing the cover.A grommet is easily fitted in the hole after.
Is it a good idea? what size hole and anyone got a drawing with the exact location-have tank cutters can drill!

You only take out the bold form the exhaust and move the lip to the other side. With my Leovince i have enough space to take the wheel off by only taking the 5 wheelnuts off.

thanks Ray I think it could be a good mod anyway as the rear brake on my DCT model could do with a good clean -I think the pistons could need a bit of love but hesitate to pop them out completely after reading of the hassles with linked brake bleeding.

With standard or Acrapovic exhaust fitted I only have to loosen the exhaust bolt and swing it away from the frame.
