I just got new Ohlin shocks installed on my 04 R1150RT. I have 65000 miles and have never replaced the alternator belt so I have been living on borrowed time.
The Ohlin front shock appears to be just slightly bigger in diameter than the BMW shock and I'm having a hard time getting the alternator cover off. I removed the right shark fin trim mounting bracket but cant get the top of the alternator cover past the top pulley.
Is there a certain way to remove the cover over the pulley or is the shock a bit too big to do this? I don't want to have to do anything with the front shock to be able to change the belt in the future.
Thanks for any advice anyone has with this particular problem.
I will keep jiggling the cover and hope it comes down......Mark
