One More Swing Test Question
I have searched and read but still a bit confused. I want to do a proper swing test to check my steering head bearing tension. This is for my 2002 Road King. I know level and remove extras like GPS mount, windshield, cup holders but what about the Nacelle, clutch cable and throtle cables? Thanks in advance for your time.

Nacelle's got to come apart if it needs adjusting but I'm sure you know that.
