Installing a traditional RK handlebar cover on RK Custom? (no duckbill)
I have a Road King Custom and I'm not sure I like the "duckbill" thing on the front anymore. I know how to remove the handlebar cover, which is a pretty easy feat.
Now I'm wondering if I can replace the "duckbill" handelbar cover with the regular 'ole Road King handlebar cover?
Is it as easy as I think? Does it fit perfectly?
Also, do I need to get the little "arrow" looking seam cover thing too or will the one I already have fit the regular 'ole Road King handlebar cover?
Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

You know I think you can screw off the fin, I know for sure that it's screwed on but I never took it off, and yes it's a simple swap with the regular RK but I think you have to buy the chrome strip as well (the arrow looking seem) double check though I may be wrong, why take it off I love mine, it makes up a beefy front end for the bike.

Thanks guys. I assumed it was a direct swap, but you know how these things go...
I hated the "duckbill" at first, but never did anything about it. Then I started liking it. Now I'm back to not liking it. ha ha... Guess I should save this old one if I swap it out, just in case I keep going back and forth in the future.

Interesting observation. I never thought about that. I'll have to really look it over and think about it before making the change. Thanks!
