====Fairings====

It takes only 20 minutes to pop off both side fairings. You simply need a 4mm and 5mm allen, a #2 phillips screwdriver, and a flat bladed screwdriver.

It takes only 20 minutes to pop off both side fairings. You simply need a 4mm and 5mm allen, a #2 phillips screwdriver, and a flat-bladed screwdriver.

*First, disconnect the turn signals at the connector.

*For each side you need to remove the phillips screw on each of the side covers under the seat first and get that cover out of the way.

*Then, on each ~~fairing~~ you need to remove two 5mm headed screws, five 4mm headed screws, then two press-in keepers.

:The way the press-in keepers work is you push the center in, then pull the whole thing out. To re-install, reset it by pulling the center out, which allows the whole thing to be put back in place. Then just push the center back to flush.

*Finally, there are 3 pull-out keepers that are what hold both fairings together.

Once that's done, you just wiggle the fairings loose from the front cowl and set them aside in a nice safe place (not on the floor).
