Hi guys, me 09 Road King Classic doesn't have a stock handlebar set up. The previous owner had some 4 or 6in risers installed with the stock bars mounted on top. I have recently purchased some 16in apes along with having to purchase the stock riser and bar clamp plus the top housing/shroud etc.

 

Nup, haven't come across this before,,,

But FWIW, my thoughts are;

 

1. I reclon you've tried lock to lock to see if ya can access the bolt heads.

 

2. Is it possible to remove the bars and turn the risers off while holding the bolt head with an open ender.

 

3. maybe the top tree has to come off so you can get to them with a ring spanner or socket.

 

4. Explosives. 

I would say what rider has said lock to lock or top tree off

Upon further investigation apparently all I need to do is turn the steering full lock one way to get to one bolt and vice versa to get to the other one. Doing this apparently allows me to get a socket underneath. Learn something new every day! I'll test it when I get home this arvo.

Thanks for the help guys. It was much easier with me old Dyna!

Sorry rider, it's as you said under point 1 in your post. Tried it and it allows you to get a socket in there.
