Been wanting to take mine off just to be nosy. Had the batwings off many times, curious on how easy this outer fairing is to pull. I do have the service manual, just gotta do it.

I've never tried it, but I came across a Klockwerks You Tube video of the installation of their 15 RG vent screens in which they pulled the fairing. Looks easy enough and takes all of 10 minutes...check out the link. (I had the dealer install the vents during the 1000 mile service.)

Thanks, the bolts in question are 28. the reason i ask it the glove box one has a huge hole so it doesn't clamp, more so just sits in the hole its like they used the bolt head as a locator. just seems odd and mines been apart since December so i cant remember. just want to verify that the the upper bolt does in fact not clamp anything.
