Pics below start off with me removing the fairing to see what kind of a mess was actually behind that thing. You can see Harley basically turned behind the speakers into little bass boxes by enclosing it. The next picture shows the three plugs that run through the bars for your hand controls....nine wires, that's all. These all needed to be extended but with 12.5 Wild 1s Chubbies, the throttle cable, brake and clutch lines were all good, no extensions needed. The third picture shows the connections and mounting point for where the navigation system mounts for the 6.5 Infotainment system. The next picture shows how easy it is to access the handlebar clamps once you remove the lower plastic piece and move the fairing (which is also quite easy). The final picture shows what is behind the left side of the display...nothing. So in the future if you want, I am sure you could run a switch into there or turn it into a cubby like the other side.
Thanks,

To remove the fairing, locate the four screws that are near your speakers and towards the bottom of the inner fairing and remove those. They face towards the front of the bike and have torx heads on them. Then remove the three screws that hold your windscreen on but make sure you are supporting the fairing when you remove the final one. Then easily bring the fairing down and disconnect the two plugs that plug into the high and low beams behind the headlight. Then after the plastic piece and ignition are off, you will locate the acorn nuts and bolts that hold the front turn signal lights on and remove those. There is an acorn on top and then you need to remove the entire bolt. It is threaded on both sides. There are two of them on each side facing in. Then to give yourself access to the handlebar clamp, rotate the fairing down towards the front of the bike.
