Front Headlight Fairing Removal?

[tho9504]

hello,
I wanted to get my fairings painted so i removed all the side fairings. But i am not sure how to remove the front headlight fairing that is attached to the windshield. When i look inside, i seem so many different bolts in all angles. Does anyone have any pic or write up of how to remove it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

These exploded drawings show how the bolts go.... from what I experienced...it basically all has to come apart...

Damn.... I guess i am going to have to plasti-dip it without taking it off by covering everything else with masking tape. That Diagram looks too scary for me to mess with. I would be able to take it off but putting it back correctly would be a whole different story with that many bolts

If i take these 4 bolts off (attached pic - blue lines), would that detach the front headlight fairings?

I believe so...

its been over a year since I did my retro fit..... but the headlight has to come off the frame to get to those 4 bolts I believe....

Its really not all that hard...just time consuming.....

take the grill off.... take the side covers off....take the snorkels off...pop the plastic dash panels off....take the mirrors off...take the headlight and ring off...disconect the ring....

I did it so many time I got down to about 1.5 hrs to strip it down....
