Just pop cover off speedo/tach. Press base below speedo forward with thumbs far enough to release two tabs. Pivot cover forward to unhook at top. This will reveal handlebar clamps and top bolts. Take a dremel or similar tool and trim the lower part of nacelle to allow access to lower bolts. Speedo cover will hide when reinstalled.
BTW check heritage classic bars before you decide for sure.

Bars from a Heritage or wide glide will work with some munipulation of wires and cables without changing them, a search on this subject will give you step by step info. I ran both and found heritage the best for me.

RE: Road Glide Handlebar replacement
Was more concerned with the complications at the contol end of bars, will parts fly when I open them up? Looked in the service manual and of course they make it sound like a major project. thanks for all the help...

No parts to fly around when you split controls. The most tedious part will probably be the throttle cable ferals. Adjust cables out to give you maximum slack, then readjust after installation.
