Help!
The last guy that owned my bike, had the handlebars way to low for my liking. I'm sure there is a thread in here somewhere about how to get to the adjuster bolts, but I can't seem to locate it. Can anyone help me out ?
RE: Help!
If you are riding an Classic/Ultra or Roadglide you better get a manual. You have to remove the ignition and cover to get to the triple tree. I saw an hd tech do it once but I don't remember how to get the ignition off. I think you do something like put in the key and push down then turn? Like I said....you're going to need a manual.

This should get you there, it's posted in the DIY section also
Getting to the Riser Clamps
-Pull the windshield.
-Unscrew the bottom screw at the headlight trim ring and pull up to release the ring.
-Unscrew all the rubber mounted phillips screws that hold the headlight in place against the nacelle. (A cordless screwdriver in reverse works extremely well here, but don't tighten them that way)
-With a 5/16 wrench, unscrew the nut holding the front of the chrome spear trim from inside the nacelle.
NOTE: Upon re-assembly, DO NOT over tighten the nut or you will break off the stub. this is just a twist nut, not to be put under a lot of tension.. Lift the spear free (its hooked into the riser cover)
-With the same wrench, hold the nut from inside the nacelle that secures the front of the riser cover, and unscrew the phillips screw. (careful or you will drop the nut and have to go looking for it)
NOTE: Upon re-assembly, the tiny nut and washer are hard to reach to get the screw started. Use masking tape, and tape across a box end wrench, then drop in the nut, and lay on the fender washer. Be sure the masking tape is long enough to contact the washer as well, so everything stays in place. The screw will penetrate the masking tape as you tighten it.
-Pop off the Fork Lock cover ring by lightly prying up on it, and remove the two phillips screws that secure the riser cover to the fork lock area.
Now the cover is free, and you can access the riser caps. (If you are only repositioning the bars, this is as far as you need to go).
