    :banghead: I have been beating my head on this. I have a 09 Road Glide{bike #3 ] anyway I am putting new bars {sweepers +2} on it and i tell-ya it is not as simple as a softail. The question I have . Do you have to remove the fairing? I have heard different things. One a guy had to remove the fairing to change his head light bulb. There has got to be a way to get to the TBW connector without removing the fairing? Does anybody know if you can go through the head light area?
    Please HELP!!!:wtf:

    Yes, the road glide is the one with the fairing attached to the frame. It seems to me the engineers would have designed it go through the head light area? OH-WELL,I will make the best of it and I will keep You-all posted on my progress.
