Malingerer,
Your ride looks clean! I keep going back and forward with getting the Nacelle only because I got a prettly clean riser that I know I will have to get rid of and replace it with the 1.25 riser. After seing your ride with the Nacelle I know I have to get it! Do you have any recommendations on where I can pick one up for a good deal and was it difficult to install?
Thanks,
Raul

I've got a ? for you guys with these already on and mounted, not high jack your thread.
I have been monkeying with putting on the nacelle and its been a total biotch for me. I can't get it to fit up right without lots of play and movement. Did you all order the extra install kit from HD to install on your deluxes?
I just have the HD nacelle kit, and Besides breaking off a screw in the upper bracket of the triple clamp/tree. I can't get the damn Nacelle to seat correctly. I have the 1.5 carlini bars and a one piece carlini bra type riser, which does not get in the way or need to be trimmed like most of the other carlini risers mentioned.
Did you guys have tapped holes in the top of your triple tree bracket, where the holes are in the top of the nacelle?
I had planned on just leaving the riser cover off, but I can't even get it to that point. I can get it mounted up (I did grind down the spacers on my light bar) but there is a major gap down the top center seam where the two halves of the nacelle meet. This becomes slightly corrected and pulled out when I install the rest of the headlamp assembly, but it still seems to have enough play to rock back and fourth?
Anyone else have similar issue? I have read every post I can find in regards to installing these dang things and haven't found anyone else who encountered this issue?

Damm Mal,,, your bike looks awesome...nothing like a nacelle on a deluxe, it really makes a statement. Your question on the space you have under the touring trim ring, mine has that also but I think it's because the touring ring fits over the stock nacelle ring. Im probly not much help but just thought id chime in. Looks great tho...

there is a way to get rid of that gap. do a search in the touring forum. I had one on my RK and got the gap to pretty much be gone. It is all about getting the stock trim ring just right. It needs to be a little loose but not too much. A lot of trial and error on mine. Some guys have put weather stripping on the inside of the new trim ring and removed the stocker all together. Like I said, check it out over there....
