    Default Replacing the grille

    Hi there,
    I've recently started doing up a VN S Pack and I'm at the stage where I want to replace the standard grille with something a little better looking.
    I'm thinking a chrome Calais grille.
    Just wondering how difficult it would be to take the original one off and replace it with one purchased online?
    Are they easily interchangable?
    It's just that I have very limited resources in the way of tools etc.
    Does anyone have a really easy step-by-step guide I could follow for this procedure? I don't want to go messing around with it incase I break something!
    Cheers.

    pretty sure its just a bunch of philips head screws. just open your bonnet and have at it. also vn vp grilles are different. they have different shaped head lights and the vp ones bolt to the headlight brackets where as the vn ones connect to the top of the bar. so make sure you get one thats a vn only... if its fibreglass you might be able to modify it to fit, but based on your questions id just make sure you get one purposed for a vn...

    step 1) buy vn grill you want
    step 2) pop bonnet
    step 3) undo phillips head screws (5?) and remove old grill
    step 4) put new grill in and put screws in
    step 5) close bonnet
    step 6) open beer and admire

    (estimated time 2 mins lol.)
