Chrome headlight nacelle

Has anyone installed the chrome headlight nacelle on a Fatboy? Did you do it yourself? Will it work with a set of risers? Thanks

Yes it is easy, as far as the risers go it will work with any riser's HOWEVER, the clamp cover will only fit with them short stock ones. They are easy to install just take your time and have patience the end result is awsome.

Thanks for the response. I think I'll order the nacelle and aux driving lamps tomorrow. I'm going with 4.5 inch risers so I won't be able to use the small cover.

I honestly think they look better with out the cover, on the softail's their is nothing there just a big blob of flat chrome. It need's somthing to break it up if you use the cover, does that make sense to you? Double check with your parts guy if yo uare gonna run the passing lamps as well, we just put a nacelle on my buddies Deluxe and we had to "grind" the tabs that space the side plates from the forks. Good luck, have fun and I promise you will like the end result.

Your bike is really going to look great with the nacelle and driving lights. Of course I'm biased since the 'look' is one reason I bought the Road King. I've seen them on other FB's and they look pretty sweet.

Thundercloud. Your bike looks great. I ordered the nacelle, driving lights, new seat, flush fuel gauge and cap and the 4.5 inch risers the other day. Should keep me busy until the weather warms up.
