Goodo!  :thumbs

I did mine when I had the fairing off which made it a much easier job!
Like you, I also took the opportunity to swap out the parking lights (and added an airhorn) while it was all apart...  :beer

I looked at fairing instructions but they scared me!

In hindsight I wish I had spotties to install etc .. but at least I know how to get in the front now :)

I felt the same way the first time I stripped the fairing off but it's actually not as bad as it seems...as long as you can remember what fastener/bolt goes where...  :thumbs

Unfortunately I took the fairing off my bike around 6 weeks ago as I was going to do a bit of maintenance/fit some accessories but fell ill and haven't got back to it since so I'm dreading having to work out what fastener goes where when I finally get back to putting it all back together...It doesn't help when you have a memory like a sieve...  :fp  :rofl

I’m one of those people that no matter how much care I take.. I end up breaking the trim clips etc so I’ll be stocking up on them before next fairing attempt :)

I found the cheat sheets here to be very handy. Printed them out and laminated them, and never forget which goes where.

Still break the odd one or two though.
