Thanks FREE....
Those bars are 18" Wild1's...
Thanks creatv1...yeah I'm a proud member of the Nacelle club 
. I didn't have to grind my passing lamp at all, but it was a very tight fit...it took me forever, and a lot of painters tape, to get the lower part of the passing lamp bar aligned without scratching the Nacelle.
It took about 4 hours total to do the install...I really went slow to make sure I minimized any scratching. I also changed the harness connector that connects to the head light, I simplified it and made it cleaner.
I do have to modify the riser cover though, my bars are too thick and the cover doesn't sit down on the nacelle like it should. I am going to have to increase the arch hight somewhere between a 16th to 8th of an inch to clear my bars so the cover will sit flush. That is going to be STRESSFUL but it needs to be done to complete the look correctly.

Thanks OS....
Question...did you have to modify your riser cover to fit over your bars?
Thanks Rocky...I'm not for sure about this, but I think if you only install the nacelle and are not interested in the riser cover it might work with your stock risers.
I'm sure one of the Deluxe guys on the forum with a nacelle should be able to chime in on that.
Thanks Jimmy...I will probably roll like you for a while. I've got that bar and shield riser bracket as well and I've always like it a lot...i'll ride like that until I get the nerve to sick my dremel on my riser cover.
