You no longer have to remove your entire fairing to replace your handlebar on the 2024+ Harley Street Glide! This saves about an hour or more on a bar change. The entire replacement took me 2.5 hours.
This video shows how the bars are replaced with the fairing on the bike, the way the Harley service manual explains it.
TOOLS NEEDED:
3/8” drive torque wrench (16-18 ft-lbs)
3/8” drive ratchet
1/4” drive torque wrench (20-81 in-lbs)
1/4” drive ratchet
6” L x 1/4” drive extension
T27 bit x 1/4” drive
T25 bit x 1/4” drive
T20 bit x 1/4” drive
5/32” hex bit x 1/4” drive
1/4” hex bit x 5” L x 3/8” drive
Bent needle nose pliers
#2 Phillips screwdriver
Trim remover tool
Pick

Oh man, I wish every how-video on KZfaq was as clear, concise, and as free of fluff as this one! I just shared it to a SG trouble thread on Facebook. EXCEPTIONAL WORK!!!

I want more videos! I could listen to your sultry voice all day! Wish you did videos about a 99 4runner. I would be able to fix anything with your detailed videos!

Ha! Hey, if I could get more money for parts or have parts sponsored, I’d do videos every day!

You can do it this way, unless you go with the 12" bars and need to replace the clutch,right?! I just replaced my bars and took all off.... BTW, thank you for this one. I had to readjust my bars and it took me 15 minutes. Great video,keep them going! Subscribed!

@BrandonsHarley Ай бұрын

You can still replace the clutch cable and brake line this way. You just remove the p-clip retainers from the top of the triple tree and it will free up the lines to be replaced. There is one retainer for the brake line, and one for the clutch cable. You will need to have a right angle T27 (like an Allen wrench, but a Torx) to get the bolts out. There is not enough room to get a T27 socket in there. For 12” bars, you do not need to replace either line. Removing the p-clips from the triple tree gives enough slack.

Great video. If just need to adjust the bars only need to remove that plastic cover and tray? Are those the HD Tall Boy bars? Thank you.

@BrandonsHarley Ай бұрын

Thanks! To adjust the bars, the service manual state you can just remove the tray, loosen the two exposed clamp bolts (and the alignment bolt if you still have it), make the adjustment, and tighten the two clamp bolts. These are the HD Tallboy bars. About 2” taller than stock.

With the 2024 model putting on the Tall Boy handlebars, did you need to put the mirrors on the bars? I put the Tall Boy handlebars on my 2020 street glide special and I could still see behind me with the mirrors on the faring.

@BrandonsHarley Күн бұрын

Yes, new mirrors on the bars are needed. Hands will be directly in front of the mirrors with these 2024 Tallboys.

Which new bar did you go with? Looks like maybe 2" more rise? Are you happen with it?

@BrandonsHarley Ай бұрын

I went with the Harley Tallboy bars. They are about 2” taller than stock. Much more comfortable, similar to the stock Road Glide bars.

I thought you didn’t have to remove the faring

@BrandonsHarley Күн бұрын

The outer fairing shell is removed, not the fairing. If you’re familiar with any of the previous models of batwing fairings, you might remember that the entire fairing has to be removed, which required considerably more labor as you have to disconnect all electronics, brackets, etc.
