Thanks to the help from my son-in-law. We jacked the bike up...waaay up, so we could extend the CS, then put jack stands under the engine guards. Andy is 6'5" with the muscles that go with it. I couldn't budge the bolt to remove it from the CS, not a lot of room up there, made him grunt a bit but he broke it loose. Unbolted the crossmember clamp end of the CS and it dropped right off. He's going to install it on his I/S but we'll have to create a lifting handle to replace the one that came with the stand when I first got it 15 or more yrs. ago. I had a matching set on the old bike but sold them a few months ago.

Now I can start putting the old bike back together and get it ready for sale. Still have some stuff on it that didn't work on the trike...namely the I/S radiator pods I adapted to it('98 Tourer) and the HD fairing which isn't needed since the trike is a converted I/S. Both the pods and the fairing have native American painting on them, as do the saddle bags and the trunk I adapted to it. Maybe someone from the nearby Oneida nation will be interested. Hope to have it up and running this month so a possible buyer will have a good two months of riding left. Frankly, I need the room. It's a two car garage, not a one car, one trike, one 2-wheeler garage.  Wink

If he wants lift handles with the rails, I would consider trading mine from my  IS trunk if he wants to send me his without holes, and pay shipping  for these.

The lift handles weren't mounted on the trunk, they ran from the top shock mount bolt on the left side back to the sissy bar mount. He's satisfied as it is since I sold him my saddlebag guard rails. The top of the rail gives him a good handle to grab.

Yep, should have said fender struts, not directly from the trunk.  Good that he can manage it with what he has.
