Step 4
Using narrow flathead screwdriver, gently remove decorative adhesive strip from the top of the
instrument bezel by pressing from behind until decorative adhesive strip is free.
** RECOMMENDED **
Saving the removed decorative adhesive strip is recommended incase you decide to
remove the Road Glide iPhone / GPS Mount at a later time.

Step 6
Using a 3/32″ drill bit, drill two pilot holes. Once pilot holes are drilled, use a 5/32″ drill bit to drill
the final holes through the instrument bezel. Clean drilled holes of any plastic burrs.
** IMPORTANT **
During Step 6, use extreme caution while drilling through the instrument bezel as the
composite plastic has a tendency to grab the drill bit, pulling the bezel into the drill. To
protect the bezel, place a towel between the bezel and drill before drilling. An extra set of
hands is recommended to hold the bezel while you drill.

Step 9a

bezel then thread supplied screws into place using a 7/64″ allen wrench to snug.
** RECOMMENDED **
Use blue Loctite on screw threads prior to installation to prevent loosening.

pointing to the right.

Step 12
After verifying that the left and right sides of the instrument nacelle are properly mated, insert tab
at rear of instrument bezel into slot of instrument nacelle (just in front of the ignition switch). Holding left and right sides of nacelle together, place bezel over instrument nacelle flange. When
properly mated, tabs at front of instrument nacelle engage lip in slot at front of bezel.

Step 13
Install screw on each side of the instrument bezel. Harley-Davidson recommends tightening the
screws to 25-35 in-lbs. If you do not have a torque wrench do not use a ratchet, instead tighten
to snug with fingers.
** IMPORTANT **
Since screws thread into plastic, over tightening will strip the threads.
