Rear spark plug access mod , I had a choice to make rotate the engine to chase the rear plug Threads or get creative , I might get hammered for doing this but I did it. Now I was able to chase the plug threads easy , and change rear plug.

Thats all it took for a straight shot? Wow, I'd say well done! There are one or two 'leave them for the museum' types that may disagree, but I'd file that under what the factory should have done. File it. Get it?? PUUUUNNNNN!!!!
 
Straight Shot with a 3/8 drive extension, That means a lot coming from you Cooter , thx I used my air grinder . easy $$
 
Nice work Silver! I may need to do that mod to the (cough, cough) race bike.

How did you determine the place to file? Just cram an extension on the spark plug socket and see where it hits the frame?

I always keep a 6-8” piece of 3/8 rubber hose to install the rear plug
 
I just eye balled it with a lazer pointer, Then got out the air grinder , now its a straight shot with a plug socket and a 6" 3/8 extension.
