1st question 09 UC
New to me 09 Ultra classic , what is the best way to get at the handle bar adjustment bolts
I've got long legs and the bars hit my knees on slow full corners . need to roll them up a bit
Thanks for any advice
Just got the bike home today so no manuals yet

go to youtube and watch the videos on removing teh ignition switch.
make the alignment tool from a piece of squarshed 1/4" copper tubing - DO NOT use a screwdriver
cover tank with a thick towel
remove switch and lower dash panel
loosen the 2 allens
shift bars and tighten down.
move lock to lock to check clearance
if ok put it all together
you can use a screwdriver bit slipped into the allen and turn with a wrench- or cut the end off a piece of a 1/4" allen key.
this is also handy for tightening the tranny end cover bolts, leaving teh header in place
the 09 had a recall on the gas tank mounts and the rear brake light switch- check that this has been done
pretty riding on hwy 3.

sorry, I should have pointed out the illustration in the manual in my pic is for a road king...
the allens on a batwing fairinged bike are harder to get to.
