I would like to adjust the handlebars and need to remove the fairing cap. I know that there are two screws, one on each side.

Do I need to take the ignition switch off? I removed the two screws but it seemed to hang at the switch. I do have a service manual but it is unclear to me about the removal.

This is on a 2011 FLHTK. Thanks

 

yes you will have to take the ignition off. found this video on youtube. hope that helps

also you might need to take off the outer fairing and remove the radio in order to get to the other two handle bar bolts. Maybe you just loosen the front two to adjust but not sure.

 

just the 2 close bolts

loosen, adjust, tighten

put a towel of blanket on the tank for preotection


if you go low, make sure that the controls cannot be pushed into the tank- the mounts are on rubber bushings and the bars will move when pushed, like moving the bike around the garage

Buy the HD Service Manual. You've rec'd help here, but for the future, buy the SM.

I stated in the original that I HAVE the service manual but that it was unclear to me. You might want to read the posts before you get testy.
