For the parts exploded view go to
https://shop.outpostalaska.com/OEMpa.../NACELLE_AND_H
The nacelle and headlamp have to come off, 15 minute job at most, that will expose the riser bolts

Trying out some new handlebars to see if I can get rid of the pain in my back. H-D Road King Fat bars in black. My dealer was able to locate some for me, since they have been discontinued in black from the MoCo.
These were my first ever install routing wires through the bars. I was able to feed everything through without removing the wiring connectors, except the R/H turn signal. Other than that, it was a pretty straight forward swap - although much more involved than plain old-fashioned wiring outside the bars.
I'm going to ride around with these for a while and see how I like them.
So how did you find these bars? I was thinking of doing the same ones.. Let me know
Thanks!

As for their comfort? Well, they moved the pain from between my shoulder blades to the middle of my back...so, I’d say it’s a wash for me. I had to invest in a back rest. The hunched over bad-*** feet forward arms out Harley look works when you’re 25...but can suck when you’re 60. But, Riding position is a relative thing, so what works for one guy won’t necessarily work for another, right?
If I could do it over, I’d look for a low bar with more forward grip rotation...like maybe a Wild1 W0504? Anyway, hope this helps?

No, thats perfect, thank you.. like you I'm getting a pain in between my shoulder blades. This is my first Harley, coming off a long line naked/street fighter sport bikes. I've been looking at the Wild ones too, as well as some of the shorter Ape's. I think the low seat has a little play in it too. Thanks again.

Can you tell what parts you used to get the axillary lights to work and can you confirm if this still works with a removable windshield? I have an 18' RKS and three different dealerships can't help me figure this out. I currently have a wind splitter but would love to do this for more down range light on the road. Any help is greatly appreciated!
I have been trying to figure this out too with no luck.

I'm trying to hold out until the dealerships restock so I can get my hands on the parts I think will work but found out this week that Harlry is discontinuing the item so not sure what is going to happen.

Apparently January is the time to buy a bike. Just bought mine a few days ago. $3000 under MSRP and the dealership paid the sales tax on any bike sold through the entire month! Proud new owner of a 2018 RKS in Vivid Black. Went into the dealer just to look at bikes (I knew I shouldn't have as I'm an impulsive shopper) and it took all of 15 minutes before I was signing paperwork.
