Hi,
You'll have two nuts on either side of the fairing at the bottom, just below the "Honda" logo. You will also have four bolts across the front of the fairing, at the edge of the skirt just above the fender. In my experience (and I've had mine on and off quite a bit), it's easier to have a hand doing this, but can be done alone. Here's what I did:
- Remove the mirrors, then the windshield garnish and windshield.
- Unplug the main electrical connector and the ground connector between the fairing and the frame (left side). This to me was the hardest part. Not enough room for Yeti hands.
- Removed the front four nuts/bolts. Be sure to retain the metal collars!
- Remove the forward nut from each side (underneath) the fairing.
- Then remove one of the rear nuts, then while bracing the headlight area with one hand, remove the other nut. You'll find that it's not too heavy...then you just stand up, grip the fairing at either side while straddling the front wheel, and lift straight up, then back.
If your mirrors are wobbling, check underneath the rubber gasketand see if there's a screw. Mine has them, I know some others don't. Anyway, you can tighten that screw a tad and the mirrors will stiffen up.
Hope it helps. I have some extra fairing mount pieces and a spare fairing that has a small part broken off the left turn signal area (still have the piece) which could be repaired. If you find you need some parts, or if you find your metal collars are missing, I may have spares I can post to you.
