Accessing cat bolt behind sidestand mount

[1n$ecure_Rope]

I'm installing a decat pipe on my 2023 Norden and the left side bolt behind the footrest mount is giving me trouble. Has anyone mapped which bolts need to come off or if spacer clearance helps?

That's a notoriously tricky spot, but it's quite common. Often, the easiest way is to actually remove the sidestand mount completely to get clear access
Check for a specific wrench or socket type. Sometimes, a thin wall socket or a specific offset wrench is the only way without removing more parts

I haven't pulled the sidestand mount yet but it's looking more like the next move. Did you run into any torque spec issues putting it back or did stock settings hold fine? If I can get hands on a thin wall socket this week, I might test clearance first before pulling more stuff. Might aim for full install by next weekend.
