Default 03 headlight

Can anyone tell me if on a 2003 road king classic if the nacelle is held in place by 1 or 2 screw/nuts? one place I found shows a nacelle that is separate from the handlebar cover and the other is one piece with just a speed nut at the front of the headlight. Any help would be appreciated!

- Stock headlight trim ring is held by one phillips screw at the bottom of the ring.
- headlight 'bucket' is held into the nacelle by (typically) black phillips screws.
- the nacelle itself is a 2-piece set-up that is held together in several places.

1. By the four (4) 1/2" acorn nuts on the sides of the nacelle

2. A 5/16" nut (I think) behind the headlight bucket - that holds the 'arrow' trim in place

3. A phillips screw that holds the front of the bar clamp cover (I think the nut on the underside of that is 5/16" too)

4. Phillips screws (2) that are under the ring that surrounds the fork lock keyway. Which is simply pryed up.


I'm at work, going from memory...but I think that's all of it.

Actually, I am just after what holds the triangle piece and the bar clamp cover on. Are they 1 piece or 2 and if I understanding correctly you say there is 1 screw towards the front of the inside top of the bucket and another at the rear?

Clamp cover is held down by the triangle piece which is then held down by a nut/washer and another screw nut washer inside the nacelle, front and back.

Ok. The triangle/arrow trim is held in the front by a small nut behind the headlight, And it just clips into the bar clamp cover.

To remove the clamp cover there is a screw on the front side (under the triangle/arrow), and two phillips screws on the backside under the ring that surrounds the fork lock keyway.

Great! This is for all road kings or just specifically my 03 model?

Should be the same on all. Although I have no experience with the '09-up models.
