Removing fork legs
Can someone tell me if I can get to the fork leg hardware so I can pull each fork leg out, by just removing the lower cover beneath the inner fairing on a 10 Street Glide? Thanks

The 10 is a little different than my 15 - I am assuming the 10 is like my 04 - I had it off many times... actually pretty easy - best to get a service manual
first - front wheel and fender need to come off... to do this you need to pull outer fairing off to un plug the fender light.
for me I pull the ing switch - Very easy once you know how... YouTube is your friend.
Hardest part is getting that HUGE wrench on that top nut on each fork tube.. Once you get that off - all that is left is to loosen both pinch nuts and it will FALL straight down..
I am typing this from pure memory, lol but it really is quite simple
On the 14 and up - that big nut is NOT on top and makes it really easy...

It's all pretty easy except for re-assembly when compressing stock springs to get top bolt back on. Helps if you put leg in vice and have 2 people IMHO.

To answer your question... YES. No more than that cover is required to take the legs off. Except the fender of course..
