Hi mudplug. If you're saying what I think you mean, it is possible to take the right hand sidepanel off(exhaust side) with the racks on. It is, however, impossible to take the left handside one off without first slackening the two bolts at the rear footrest and removing the two separate bolts on the top. It only takes a few minutes when you're organised and, to be honest, it's normally the right handside panel that requires removal more often. Hope this helps.
