Swung the pipe back up



	I decided the other night to remove my right side pannier bracket and
swing the pipe back up for that "better" look. 
	From start to finish and without removing the rear fairing I removed
the bracket, removed the pipe bracket, swung the pipe up and was
complete in twelve minutes. That's not bad and IMHO not really needing a
quicker way. But, it would be nice if it were two minutes! Just not that
much trouble.
	First remove the rear allen bolt. Then remove the two small bolts at
the front pipe bracket. There's enough room between the rear fairing and
frame to insert an open end wrench and use a socket to remove the nut.
Push the bolt most of the way out with a screwdriver. Drop the bracket
while rotating with the bolt in. Reinstall old bolt. Remove lower pipe
bracket bolt. Remove upper pipe bracket bolt. Set bracket aside. Loosen
pipe front clamp and swing pipe up. Tighten the two pipe bolts.
	Sounds simple. It is. Just a little work.
