How the heck does the chrome cover over the handle bar clamp come off? I need to adust the bars. I have asked 4 or 5 people (not techs obviously) met at 2 different dealerships, and no one has been able to tell me yet. It has to come off somehow.
The little chrome ring that says lock/unlock where you lock the steering head comes off with a small screwdriver (just pry it up and it pops off) there are three screws under it that hold the cover on.
What he said but there is a bit more to it than that. The chrome "spear" that runs along the top of the nacelle needs to come off and it requires going in through the front behind the headlight.
1 screw to pull light ring off
8? screws to pull headlight out
1 nut to pull trim off (I think its a 7 or 8MM)
pop cover off lock ring and remove screws
Should take you 5-10 minutes depending on skill level

Watch that little nut inside & top of the headlamp assbly (holds the spear)... It WILL break very easy.. Been there done that
Like the others have said, once you know what to remove, it only takes about 8 minutes. I adjusted my bars, late last year and it made All the difference!
Good luck.
