Removing the battery for a 2004 Dyna Low Rider

I have not worked on any of the newer Dyna's but this is the way Harley usually does the Dyna battery trays. To get the battery out, first remove the seat. Now, look at the battery tray and on the left side is a bolt that screws into the frame and then one that screws upwards hold the battery tray. There is also a bolt on the right side that screws upwards into the frame. Take the bolt on the left out, loosen the bolt that screws horizonally into the frame but don't take it out. Now, lower the battery tray by loosening the bolt that screws upward into the frame on the left side of the battery. This bolt is a "jack bolt" and raises and lowers the battery tray. It might not be exactly like this but I'm pretty sure whatever Harley is using is similar to this.

Good Luck

The Dyna battery can be removed by:
1. Remove the seat.
2. Remove negative connection at frame, and positive connection at battery.
3. Remove the lower rear bolt. (left side of battery box at frame upright)
4. Remove the upper rear bolt, and swing down the battery box.
5. Remove the top cover, nad side cover.
6. Lift battery out, and remove negative cable from battery.

On the older model Dynas, there were two bolts between the battery and the rear fender. You had to loosen these two bolts as they hold the battery tray. Then you had to remove the seat and look down inside the frame just inside of the battery. There is a bolt head right there. This is a jack bolt. Turn the bolt counterclockwise to lower the battery tray, clockwise to raise it. This will release the battery top cover.

Good luck

just left of the battery is two bolts remove the bottom one and loosen the other to lower the battery remove cover and side cover pull battery out a little and remove the neg. cable first then you should be able to to the battery out a little more to get to the pos.

on the left side of battery cover you will see two bolts remove the lower one and loosen the upper one to pivot the battery down remove the top cover and side cover then disconnect the neg. side then the pos. on my dyna i disconnect the ground cable off the frame and place a small piece of tape on it to make it easeier

On most Dyna models, you must first remove the seat. Remove the single bolt at the rear of the seat going into the fender, lift the rear of the seat, and pull to the rear. If you have a sissy bar on the bike, you may have to remove it to get the seat off.

On the right hand side of the bike where the battery is, just to the rear of the battery are two bolts. Loosen these bolts. Now, look behind the battery from the top of the frame where the seat was. You should see a bolt that is a "jack bolt". By turning the bolt counterclockwise, you lower the battery allowing you to remove the battery top cover and the wrap around cover.

Disconnect the negative side of the battery first when removing a battery. Reconnect the negative side of the battery last when installing a battery.

The battery is under the seat on the right side of the bike. You must first remove the seat by removing the screw on the top of the rear fender that holds the seat in place...you can't miss the screw, it's a big chrome philips head screw. Once the screw is removed, lift the seat up slightly and gently pull towards the rear of the bike; this will release the front of the seat from it's retaining tab. Now that the seat is off, look at the right side of the bike, the chrome box there is the battery compartment. I believe the bolts connecting the battery are 10mm...you can undo them with a wrench and pull the battery out.

I have an early model and I think they're still the same in that area. There are two bolts on the right side of the battery support. Loosen these two bolts and the battery will drop down a bit allowing you to remove the battery top cover and front cover.

There are two nuts that have to be loosened and the battery box will slide down.
