Can anyone explain to me how to remove the Fork Lock Switch from my 2015 CVO Road Glide. I can not find it in the manual. I am going to change bars and I have to get this switch off 1st. Can't seem to find the answer anyplace in the manual
Thanks

 

Not sure if it's the same for the 15 MY's. But if I'm correct, you have to turn it to (I think) aux, and then there's a button underneath the actually whole locking system. Press it and the whole unit comes off.

Hopefully someone else will chime in.

Hold up.........the switch does not need to come out for bar swaps on the 14s or 15s. The switch plate is notched and will slip out of your way with the key switch in place.

 

I had a bitch getting the switch plate off on my '14 CVO Limited, but I did manage, use a tiny bit of force, bending and moving the handlebars from side to side. In the end it wasn't a big deal.

 

From Supplemental Manual.

Section 2.19
Instrument Bezel

Removal:
1. Lift the rear of the ignition switch cover. Remove cover.
2. Remove screws one on each side of bezel.
3. Lift bezel to remove
4. Disconnect instrument connector. Disconnect accessory switch connectors. Remove bezel assembly.

 

Can't figure out what it means by lift the back of the ignition switch. It is just a fork Lock and has nothing to do with the ignition switch. I tried to lift the back of this switch and it won't lift.
Any idea??
Thanks

 

That horse shoe shaped piece of plastic........it pops off. Then 2 screws on each side of the gauge pod. That should get you there.

 

Got it Thanks for all the help. On the CVO Road Glide there is a tab on the back of the piece under the switch. You have to put a very small screw driver of paperclip in the hole on the back and it pulls right off. Easy once you do it once. On the CVO Road Glide that is all you have to do as the switch does not come off. Worked great

 

One more thing I'll add after the fact. That cover is easier to manipulate once you have taken the two side screws out of the gauge pod. I screwed mine up when I pulled the pin for the bars and had to order a new one. $34 for that damn restricted part

 

OK .......feel foolish in that I can't figure out how to slide out that horse-shoe shaped chrome cover :-[. Read to insert a small screwdriver or paperclip in the notch at the bottom and "it'll just slide right out"?!?!?! Tried pushing, poking & pressing in every direction while I'm trying to slide the chrome piece off and nothing is happening :'(! OhioBellBoy said he broke the part and had to order a new one ........don't want to go there. Any help with exactly how this thing is held in place and how to free it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
