Adjust handlebars on 09 Ultra
A friend told me that it's possible to adjust the for/aft position of the handlebars on an Ultra. I looked through the Owner's Manual but didn't see anything. Does anyone know if this is true, and how difficult it is?
Thanks,
Mike

My 08 has a plastic cover on the clamp area that pops off for adjustment, I'm sure the 09's do too. It's black and kidney shaped, check it out.
Edit: Check that, you have a fairing bike, but I'm sure you can get to it by removing the plastic cover. Damn fairing bikes

Can be done but......Its not worth the headache of taking the fairing cap off for a minimal adjustment esp. if your trying to push them forward,its only got about an "1.5 before it hits the fairing!
Wait till u get some new bars and braided cables,but if u must, get the service manual,its pretty straightforward and no u dont need that stupid ignition lock tool thingy(although it will help)good luck

I rounded one off...It's tight but this winter I have to tear everything apart and get the bolt out. Going to replace those two bolts with socket head bolts and washers so the head is above the clamp and easy to get to with a wrench....
