Just replaced my rear tire(went with BT 023's again) and did it without removing the muffler- something I picked up from the British Deauville site. You do have to loosen the muffler in order to get the caliper stopper bolt out and have to use a 27 mm open wrench instead of a socket on the muffler side axle nut, but it saves time and wear and tear on the muffler. I've taken mine off many times.
Now I got to get the front done and I should be set with enough tread to make the planned cross country trip this summer with my honey. I was hoping to wait longer but a friend looked at my tires today........ sometimes you can be too cheap. And tires is not the place to skimp.
