How do I remove the air filter backplate on my 2005 Harley Softail?

Oct 06, 2006 by mvalhala | Posted in Motorcycles

I'm replacing the throttle and Idle cables on my 2005 Harley Softail. How do I remove the air filter backplate so I can reach the throttle and idle cables behind it?

Torqs bolt, to remove the front cover, two screws to be removed under the air filter, then two nuts hold the rear cover on.
