How do you remove the chrome cover over the handlebar clamps????

If the underside of the handlebar is stuck on the upper yolk after you have removed the four bolts, just give it a sharp rap with a rubber mallet from underneath. There is a knurled area that tends to bind but is there to assist clamping and prevent the bars from rotating in the clamp.

Thank you for contacting FixYa with your inquiry. I have been going over some of the inquiries that have been archieved and trying to provide solutions for those that didn't get answered. Hope this information helps.

notches on the windshield brackets are free of the upper

grommets.

3. Carefully raise the windshield until the lower notches are

WINDSHIELD INSTALLATIONTo avoid scratching headlamp nacelle or auxiliary lamp

bracket, be sure that all four notches on the windshield

brackets are firmly seated on a rubber grommet.

1. Standing at the front of the motorcycle, carefully insert

the windshield brackets between the headlamp nacelle

and the auxiliary lamp bracket. Lower the windshield into

position until the lower notches on the windshield brackets

are seated on the lower grommets.

2. Gently push the top of the windshield toward the rear

until the upper notches fully engage the upper grommets.

3. Push down on the wireform latch springs, so that they

overhang the rubber grommets. If some adjustment is

necessary, loosen the retaining screws and rotate the

HANDLEBAR INSTALLATION

Just reverse for install. This is all from the maunual and I hope it helps you.

On the older FL models, there was chrome cover that covers the handlebar risers. It was held on by two bolts, one on each side of the cover right in the middle of the handlebars. Remove the cover and you can get to the riser. Loosen the top bolts of the riser and adjust the bars. Unless they've changed something, this should work.

Good Luck

The tops of the clamps are under a cover on top of the headlight nachelle. On the earlier, there were two screws that you had to take out and the handlebar clamps were right under the chrome cover. Now if you wish to get to the bushings on the "risers", most people call them clamps, you must remove the entire nachelle in most cases. This requires the removal of the windshield, headlight, turn signal bracket, and possibly other things. The bolts or nuts for the clamps are on the bottom side of the upper triple tree.

To change the throttle/idle cables, first you need to remove the fuel tanks so you can get to the carb/throttle body. Loosen the adjusters at the throttle grip on the handlebars. Remove the idle cable first and the remove the throttle cable from the carb/throttle body. Then take the two bolts out of the throttle grip housing halves and carefully seperate them. Remove the old cables from the twist grip. Reinstall new cables in the reverse procedure. Before starting the bike, make absolutely sure that the throttle cables work like they're supposed to and the carb/throttle body will close completely.

To remove the clutch cable, remove exhaust system or whatever might be in the way on the right side of the bike. You need to remove the right side transmission cover. Drain the transmission oil. Remove the chrome right side transmission cover. Disconnect the clutch cable from the clutch release mechanism. Screw the end of the clutch cable out of the cover and take the cable loose from the clutch lever on the handlebars. Reinstall in reverse order making sure you install a new O-ring on the cable at the transmission cover. Replace cover and refill transmission with oil. Reinstall anything else you had to take off.

is it a chrome dress up cap that the other owner put on and the screw is under the cap take a dental pick and pull it off then the screw might be under hope this helps

Easy 1 min job but an hr taking chrome off. Here is the readers digest version. Start with the headlight off first screw under light on chrome trim. then pry it off. unfasten the screws holding light on about 7 screws, then unplug light. their is a chrome piece on the top of light chrome has a nut holding it on take nut off then lift that piece off. pop the piece of plastic off the key hole it prys off two screws under it remove them. that piece of chrom has a screw in it in front of handlebars you uncovered it when you took that chrome cover piece off. JUST loosen it. Now im sure you took off your windshield before you started so now remove your bolts that hold on the quick release windshield on both sides. Your chrome nacell will now split apart to show your 4 bolds that lock down your handle bar. See I told you 1 in job but hr to take off the samn chrome. When you put that ling cover piece of chrome back on ..NOT To TiGHt or it will snap the piece the plastic goes on. Hope that helps.

Use a pocket knife to lift the nut and screw caps. They just press in with thumb pressure.

Pry under it with a flathead screwdriver, athen pray it with hairspray,and turn on it until it comes off.
