Wish it was, but it takes a bit more to get to it :IDTS:
I remember changing the one on my 2008. It was a hassle, but allowed me to clean things while it was apart. Brought back some memories too... there were remnants of a few grasshoppers from Devils Towers.

I saw the 2018 at my local dealer the other day, sitting in front of a couple of older 1800s. Man, does it ever look compact, almost as if it were the lower displacement version. I think even though its HP/weight ratio is higher it looks a lot less intimidating.
