Tip - Relax your Baggershield hardware.

[Ixol Phaane]

Had the same issue with the mounting hardware/wellnuts . Learned to not keep them so tight and they work fine unless it gets really cold , then its a battle to remove them .

I considered that maybe they didn't need to be so tight... but I don't know where the line is between tight enough and too tight. So I decided it was probably just wiser to leave the top half at home since I rarely use it day to day.

You're supposed to spray them with silicone, not penetrating oil.
Sheesh!

Is that why they call it penetrating oil?

Probably won't ever look at bananas the same way again.

Just to update, I winterized my bike today. It was a sad event. In addition to the oil, filter, final drive oil, and battery removal, I also took the upper part of the Baggershield off, and then liberally spayed my nuts with silicone spray. They were shiny and wet afterwards.
Oh yeah, I also removed the Baggershield wellnuts and screws and attended to them as well.
In case anyone asked or cared.

This is me for the next 5 months:
