Found that out installing bag supports. I found a half decent method that worked for my hands.
Sneak up on the bike from the rear.
Snake your left hand between the fender and over the top of the tire to the right side nuts. A box end wrench will work well in that position to hold the nut. Reverse hands and position for the left side.

Do one side at a time and do not tighten up the first side until the second side is done up in position. Tighten up both sides after everything is in it's proper place. Using a little Blue Loctite on the bolts will pretty much insure nothing comes loose in the future. The whole procedure is easy and just needs a good angle of attack.
