Default Switch Covers
Anyone have experience installing new switch covers on a 2009 Road King?
Thanks

Never done it myself but know it's a real PITA!

Edit: I thought you were talking about the chrome covers that cover the actual switch. Housings are easier from what I hear. Attached is a recent thread on the switch cover subject.

Good Luck!

The covers that go over the existing ones? Or actual housings themselves? The housings aren't that bad if you ask me. Use the service manual and get a small magnetic screw driver. And a bright light helps too.

No cruise or audio on a RK either. Should be easy

Not on a road king, but On my 09 SG they were easy. Manual has a good write up. Watch the brake switch.
