    I have HD rear axles nut covers on my Fatboy Lo and installed them while I had BR exhausts. If you want to cover the swing arm nuts then you need to loosen the rear mounting plate enough to get the cover on, took 5 mins.
    Check my picture on the Grenade post I made.

    the 'multi fit' covers are what I have on mine, front, rear & swingarm

    only issue is the exhaust side of the swingarm, the cover acutally touches the exhaust when suspension compresses.
    I solved this by putting washers between the muffers and mounting bracket to move them away from the bike by the thickness of the washer
    I have STD exhaust with S&S slipons
