So I stopped by my local dealer to purchase a Service manual for my new bike and it had to be ordered so I need a little help.
I want to replace my handlebars tomorrow on a 2012 ultra Limited and wanted to know if there are any step by step links on how to do this. I have changed several bars on different Harleys so I know the basics but never on a Ultra. I'm also going with Ergo bars so no new cables/wires needed So my three questions are.

1. Is there anything special needed to removed heated grips ?

2. Do I need to remove fairing or will I be able to just remove ignition lock and small cover to access clamp ?

3. to remove ignition lock do I just push hidden button on right side then turn key clockwise ?

I wanted to tackle this before my manual arrives since the dealer says it will be a week to get it in and there is rain in forecast for the next 2 days

 

1. not sure about the heated grips.
2. you need to remove the fairing to access the two top clamp bolts.
3 it I remember right, you turn to the locked position, push in the tab, and turn key counter clockwise.
4. there are a TON of write ups on this sight for this project.
5. If your not running the wires through the bars, this will be a very easy project.
6. have fun!

 

Piece of cake. And I was worried why?
