FWIW, I did not remove or lower mine at all. After spending an hour trying to finagle the bar out, i finally just pulled like a mofo. The gas tank was nice enough to flex just enough for the old bar to pop out the passenger side and the new one to slide in from the passenger side.
Not saying I reccomend this approach, just that it worked for me....... :rolleyes:
