Pull the headlight, then the headlight mount. There are two 5/16 nuts on the center trim piece you have to remove.(on top of the nacelle)Remove the front one first lift the front of the trim piece up there is a hook in the back under the wind deflector (if you have this) once you get this off pry off the plastic label cover up from the fork lock. Under this coever there are two phillips head screws remove these. Then the cover will come straight up giving you acess to the handlebar clamps.

Take your time, you will probably have more trouble with the right throttle grip than anything else.

I agree here, the passing light/signal bar does not come off to get to the bar clamps. That's only for a fork service it gets removed.

What kind of bike do you have? The original post said he was doing the bars on a Road King which is the same bike that I have. The passing lamp/signal bar is connect to the nacelle at the top and the bottom of the nacelle. You CAN NOT separate the 2 halves of the nacelle to remove it with the signal bars still bolted on. Page 2-141 Step 9 on the 2005 Touring Manual.

You know maybe we are talking 2 different terms. The passing lamp doesn't come "off", but you have to unblot it and lay it on your fender. This is what I am calling off.
