Hi, I'm changing out the stock bars and risers on my Deluxe to mini apes..
Its probably a stupid Question, but to get the risers off do I need to pull off the chrome cover that wraps right around the top of the forks and remove the auxillary lights to get to the underside riser bolts??? It seems like there just isn't any room to get to those bolts with those chrome covers in the way....
Turn your forks to the left or right all the way and use a long socket or an extensions and you should be able to get to the bolts. IF worst comes to worst just pull of the back portion of the tins on the tank side.
