Default Another cruise question

Ok ,I have ordered the shop manual,but until it gets here how does the chrome fork lock cover come off so i can run the new switch harnesses for the cruise control.This is a 07 road king standard.Does the whole front end (naccell) (check spelling) have to come off to get to the connectors or does somebody have a short cut.Any help will be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks

Default RE: Another cruise question

You can use the search portion of this forum and get a whole lot of information a lot quicker.

a. Turn the forks all the way to the left.
b. Look under the fairing cap (that's the plastic piece under the ignition switch that has places for 4 switches) and unplug the wiring harness.
c. Insert the key. Turn the ignition to unlock. Turn the ignition to fork lock.
d. Depress the release button on the bottom left of the ignition, push the key down and turn the key 60 degrees counter-clockwise.
e. Lift and remove the ignition ****. A spring will fall out of the ****.
f. Remove the nut (7/8") and spacer. You may have to turn the forks to the right to get at it.
g. Remove 2 screws (torx) from the fairing cap. 1 on each side.
h. Remove the fairing cap.

Be careful when you are putting it back together and not turn the ignition **** left or right until you have it seated and locked down.
