A buddy just got a H-D f-l-c for his 02 RKC,the instructions say unscrew the existing trim but he tell's me it's rivetted on.Anybody fitted one of these?

 

The ring around it is simply pressed in. Take a very thin screwdriver or knife edge to get between it and the cover and simply lift it off. The srews are underneath the ring.

 

Yep,he's got that far...the problem is,they ain't screws beneath the ring,they're rivets.

 

Have the same... no screws... but rivets.
Anybody some advice... should we drill them out ?

 

Pics??

I think you mean an FLHS, not FLHC. 'S' Custom, 'C' Classic.
No problem on a 'C'. Mine went straight on. The lock/unlock ring is just held on by plastic 'nubs'. Just pry it off with a small screwdriver to get to the screws in the lock. I'll post a pic or two.

Just checked my Parts book..It shows the 'C' and 'S' are the same. 2 screws, not rivets. Maybe the 'European' models are different?
