Nacelle question?
Now don't go quoting me on this, but I believe a 1.5 or 1.75 inch riser will work with the cover. I have a 1.75 inch riser, so I will let you know how that goes. As far as mods. the only thing I believe needs to be done is to grind down the light bar studs a little bit where they mount to the nacelle itself. I think they have standoffs that are maybe 3/16ths of an inch and need to be grinded down in order to get the bolts to bite with enough threads. Other than that, I think it bolts right on. I just finished taping the whole damn thing off with painters tape. I am not getting this scratched at all. I actually have my first bike show tomorrow. so I won't begin installing this until maybe sunday or next week. I'll keep you posted.
Now I see a couple have received theirs in the states, hopefully my order in England won't be too far behind? So soon will be a few to say exactly how fitment goes?
Not with the riser cover that comes with the Nacelle, I think if you want to leave the riser cover off, you could still fit the Nacelle? I'm sure I saw another thread on here also about fitting a nacelle to a Deluxe & they left the standard risers on but yes, left the riser cover off?
I'll see if I can find that thread & add a link later when I'm on a computer.

The nacelle will still fit just not the cover, even with after market risers it hit or miss which it will accept I had to grind down my risers so the cover would fit.

Here's the link to Nacelle fitment as I spoke of earlier.
Ignore the end of the thread, where it looks like I was talking to myself, Bobber who was ansering me had a load of his posts deleted, when banned (Shame really, he had a lot of knowledge).
