Mike,...
   remove the outer fairing,... remove  the 2 bolts holding the inner fairing switch cap ... remove the front turn signals ... remove the 4 bolts associated with mounting the turn signals ... remove the outer fairing skirt ... and while standing in front of the bike facing rearward ... the whole fairing pulls forward exposing the clamp assembly ...

Doesn't sound too bad...thanks for the info....

It sounds pretty simple. No need to remove radio is nice. So it just comes down to which bars I want and then start wrenching. I will however go with internal wiring personal preference.

Thank you for the assistance.

13 and earlier isn't much harder. There are 4 bolts holding the radio you just remove them and slide the radio back a few inches no need to remove. No biggy. What bars did you go with?

I just put Yaffee classic 12 inch bars on with the stock cables. I think you will be fine.

I haven't purchased my bars yet. Not sure which ones I want to get. I currently have the Helibars on my 2009 Ultra Classic. I like them however they don't offer internal wiring and I don't want to give up that feature on the CVO. I would like to find something that is similar? if possible.

Any suggestions? I would like the bars to be up higher and back towards me ..

I paid the dealer.
Wanted them on for a ride coming up and didn't have the time with my work being busy. They charged me a bit over $200. Well worth not having to f$&@ with it before a ride.

$200 is more than fair for install labor...

Any one know the dimensions of the stock Cvo bars i.e rise and pull back?
Possibly wanting to change mine for ones that have just 2" more pull back and 2" more rise would be perfect, don't want to go for apes again ( even though the voices are telling me too!).

One observation/ niggle is that I am pretty certain these Cvo bars are exactly the same as the stock ones on the street glide special I had except they are chrome plated!,
Now all the Cvo's I've had usually have more pull back than the standard model and the bars are 11/4" diameter,kinda more custom as that's what your paying for after all is it not my fellow pipsqueeks?

Anyway any suggestions on bar changes to the dimensions I am after would be appreciated.

There are some cartoon comparisons in this stream of pics. Take a look. They DO NOT feel like they come back as depicted in the cartoon photos. The wider and straighter grip angle dissolves any "back" that there is gained by coming up two inches on the "angle back". They take a little getting used to IMO, but I really like them quite bit. All lines remained stock except for a $35 8 inch extender I had to purchase for one side of the internal wiring. They were about $305 for bars, extension and shipping to my door.

WO 575's have the 2" up and 2" back that you are looking for.

Here is a pick I found for reference....http://www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/285245-wo575-vs-hd-pullback-bars-6.html

Khrome Werks makes a 2+2 Narrow Sweeper.  2 inched taller, 2 inches back, and I think 1/2 inch wider than stock.  Their website has more details.

Thanks guys,
I will give them both an eyeballing over, hope the WO 575 don't block any more of the mirror view!
