I would think you just pop out the little piece in the center of the chrome that says Harley Davidson on it.
If you put your finger on it you can see that it is a little loose. Just gently get a pick tool or very small flat screwdriver under it and pop it out. There should be a bolt under there.

They might not be out on the first few months of bikes, but now they have them for sure.
