I have a 2012 flhtcui and want to put in Progressive monotubes. My service manual says to remove inner fairing cap(under ignition switch) to access the top fork cap bolt.
In the online videos that I see people are removing the outer fairing to access the cap bolts. Which is the best method. I have removed the outer fairing off before but have not removed the fairing cap.
thanks.

 

Inner Fairing cap to access top fork cap bolt then loosen pinch bolt and they slide out. Have 6mm allen to remove bottom slider bolt and preferably a impact air wrench.

 

I haven't tried it but I seem to remember hearing you could access them IF you pull the radio.

 

Good luck Jungleman, I just had my Monotubes installed and can really tell a difference in the front end you will really like them. Cant help you with the install, I was going to do it myself but my dealer said they could do it for $170 bucks and I couldn't turn it down.
