Handlebar cover removal

[RodMyers]

Yes, there is a thread, but as a new user it discouraged me from replying a thread over a year old.

I need to get the cover off to adjust the handlbars.

A friend had it off before, but he's owned HD forever, so he whipped through removal/reinstall process.

Just looking for the process to get the cover removed without having spare parts

Thanks

Hello Rodney! I can’t help you but would like to welcome you to TrikeTalk from west Texas. I’ll bet someone will be along here shortly that can answer your question,

Welcome to Trike Talk

Have a look below

Under the black cover you will find the screws that hold the chrome cover on

Then you will get to the bolts for the handle bars

Glue the black trim piece back on when you are done

 

[Jack Klarich]

Under the black cover are also 2 access holes, you may loosen 2 bolts on the bars clamps enuf to move them with out total removal of chrome cover

You can use a thin knife blade to pry up the black cover around the fork lock, go easy it will bend and break

thank you for the welcome.

thank you for the diagram. now if it were reversed so I could see the 2 holes and where they lead to

 

[RodMyers]

had an epiphany @0200 this morning.

realized I was making this way to complicated.

Figured out, remove the black plastic keycover, and screws magically appeared

I have 2015 FW and preparing to replace handlebars. The black trim piece the goes over the fork lock just pops off with by gentlely pulling up on it and there are 2 screws under it that hold the handlebar cover on.

Thought I replied yesterday. Oh well.

I found it Monday morning when I walked down.

Thank you all for the tips.

Now to find a longer set of bars to make the ride more confortable

There is no shortage of bar lengths/configurations for sure. Don’t know what your lookin for, reach or height, or both ? Krome Works has the most popular pull back type.

Bar selection can be one of the worst options to get right. I’m sure you know the drill as to the closed eye, sit on seat ,and hold your arms out simulation.

 

[RodMyers]

correct on the drill.

Will look at Krome Werks

 

[RodMyers]

Correct on knowing the drill

Thank you for the info on Krome Werks, will look at their page
