Is it possible to use a one piece handlebar clamp on a road king?
The road king has a cover over handlebar clamps. The chrome piece on nacelle.
I wish to maintain cover but use a one piece clamp to secure bars tighter.
I have done the coke can bit and inner tube thing between the clamp and bars over the years but i finally thought of getting the one piece clamp.
Dealer says it will not fit under the road king cover but you know how that goes.
1998 road king classic.

 

I have a plain HD chrome clamp on mine, but you may have to find new bolts with a flatter head or counter sink the holes in the clamp a little. My nacelle cover hits the bolts on the left side and rides about 1/16 of an inch higher than the right. Not much, but noticeable to me. Definitely firmer feel on the bars, though.

 

This is stated on the Wild1 handlebar site

" A one-piece top clamp works with the stock risers and fits under the top cover of a
Road King. Harley part #55918-08 works fine and costs about $38.00 from your local
HD Dealership."

 

thank you.

 

Also, there is an ebay store called Hill Country Cycles or Hill Country Customs that has one designed for the RK

 

Is the clamp part#55918-08 good for a 06 SG also?

 

Yes it comes stock on the 08 and later batwing bikes.

 

Have the 1-piece cover on my RK. You might want to change the handlebar busings while you're in there.

 

You might try the 56170-83TA handlebar clamp and an HD cover for street-slammer bars (55854-07) to replace the standard cover.
