Freight train nacelle on slim
#11
The very first photo Jam posted shows the cover perfectly..... black piece of tin that covers the top of your handlebar risers (matches the same finish as the nacelle). It only works if you're using your stock bars and the riser kit. If you go to larger diameter bars the opening needs to be made bigger on the cover.... I used a dremel. If you go to larger risers.... the cover is useless and it won't work.

IMO I think you need the following;
Nacelle Kit - 61300420 (chrome) or 61300421 (gloss black)
I don't know what diameter your bars are but you also need one of these riser kits (depending on the diameter of your bars)
46809-09 Riser kit for 1" bars
or
56789-05 Riser kit for 1.25" bars
These Riser Kits are what allow that black cover to go over top of the risers (as seen in the first pic posted).

One minor issue with the nacelle kit that hasn't been mentioned, at least when fitted to to a deluxe (flstn). Although the FLStN was not mentioned as a direct fit, everything bolted up fine. The issue probably has to do with fork rake. I have to adjust the headlight as high as it will go to get it aimed correctly. Otherwise, everything was fine. A little modification was also needed so the driving lights would bolt up.

sorry to revive a semi old thread but the info you guys said previously is really confusing. i have a few questions that need to be clearly answered.
Why Do you Need new Risers for the Nacelle to fit?
What if you dont need the top cover.. can you use your old risers?
Are the softail slim oem risers too low for the Nacelle to fit?
Are the risers for the Nacelle taller than the softail slim risers? whats the difference?
Thanks for any info

Risers are for a 'finished look'...
