Just start threading bolts to hold in place and compete job. Taking off windshield helps alot. If you have a warm body around it surely makes things easier.

Thanks I will try that,...

Hmmm. FXRP fairing has no tach. Speedo and tach are bar mounted. Got some pics you can post?

I don't have any tips to help out. Just felt the urge to say, back when the FXRTs were new on the showroom floor I test rode one with my wife. The FXRT was one sweet riding motorcycle.

I doubt it's a P model. The FXRT had a radio caddy in some years, and that may be the bikes that had the fairing mounted instruments. Does your fairing have air vents or light pods?

The FXRT was a nice scooter ... Didn't get a lot of "respect" in the day ... Like Mr. Brown said " Pictures will be in order" ... soon I hope. Good Luck with the project, eh! ( Couldn't pass up the "eh" :>)
