Default 2007 Road King Custom wind deflector removal

I am hoping someone can help me with a question. I have an 07' Road King Custom. I want to take off the chrome wind deflector above the headlight. I want more of a clean look. How does it come off and will it leave any holes where it was mounted. Will I need a new riser cover and top trim piece and what are the H.D. part numbers? Thanks in advance for the help!

Frank

Pretty sure you will need at least a new riser cover. Others on here can tell you exactly what you need as several have done this. I happen to like mine.

Try a forum search. There is a search button in the upper right just above your location and join date. Good luck.

This should help you. http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche....=13&A=454&B=37
Looks like you just have to change #30 for a #29 is all. You will have to search a different model for the Part# of #29. That little ring #36 just pops up with a small flat head screwdriver or knife.

Hi,
  • Take off outer headlight ring.
  • Take out headlight.
  • Unscrew the crome nacelle joining part (be careful its only plastic)
  • Take out the screws for the ignition barrel
  • Remove the whole riser cover/wind deflector.
  • Now you can take it over to the bench and remove the cap head screws that hold the wind delfector on.
  • you will need to buy a standard RK riser cover and joining peice as there are holes and gaps left where the RK custom parts were.
The 3 holes left by the wind defelctor can be filed in with bolts and dome nuts - not too bad looking.

see my photos of when i did mine.

Did the same thing to my '04. I liked the deflector for a while but the look with the windshield on didn't sit well with me...

I only really did mine as most of the after market batwing fairings need the wind deflector moved to fit properly.
