Default FXDLS Fairing Removal?
Haven't bought a service manual yet, will have one coming soon.

Taking off that stock fairing tomorrow so I can get my new LED headlight in there.

Any tricks I need to know ahead of time? I'm pretty dang mechanical, I don't see anything weird. Am I missing anything big?

Tomorrow new headlight and +2 riser extensions go on.

Still need to order either Lucky Dave's or Saddelmens 2 up.

Nope, it's an easy removal. A couple bolts and it's off. I removed mine and replaced with a JW Speaker Adaptive headlight and a HD 3/4 fairing with a Laminar Lip. So much better than stock!
