Default Silly Handle Bar Question
Just got my '09 Road King Classic and ordered a new handle bar. How do you take off the cover over the clamps?

you will have to go thru the headlight nacelle. when you remove the spear just loosen the rear nut, don't remove it risking losing it. the spear will come off. removing the spear will allow you to completely remove the handlebar clamp cover. removing the plastic cover on the clamp cover allows you to adjust the handle bars easier than the older one piece cover.
