I took my 2004 fairing off so many times, I could do in in the dark - the newer models are just as easy - as stated, take the passing lamps off is a breeze - I leave the middle windshield bolt in 'loose' and take all the others out - covering the fender is the best advice - enjoy

Which mirrors are you planning on using?
The stock street glide mirrors install very easily as per the instruction sheet that is included. Once you have the outer fairing off, you will see the hole locate marks embossed into the inner fairing. If by chance you are planning to install the billet style mirrors, be advised that the instructions and the parts included don't quite jive...
They fit just fine, but there is a mislabled part included that will leave you scratching your head.

Good luck.

Now that you have done this - dont you just laugh at those that pay HD $100 an hour to do it.
Suggestion - on those screw/bolt on the fairing - of course dont Over torque - check every so often, I lost one after I had the fairing off because I did not check
