I have to ask why did you take the faring off a new 2020 SGS? And do you have an HD Service Manual.

Push, Pull, Squeeze, Flex, Force and finally get a hammer. That's all I got!

This is what is required for a 2014. You will need to raise the inner fairing assy a little (2"-3"), then slide the assy over the top mounting holes that are part of the triple tree. The metal strut behind the fairing plastic is shaped slightly like C channel for rigidity and to keep the inner fairing in place when the blinkers or auxiliary lighting is removed. I'm not sure what info is in the manual for this; but, if you are still struggling with it let me know and I will take a look.

Thanks,
Rob

Put screws in loosely on the top ones and manually move the bottom screw holes to where you need it. It takes alittle patience.

This video is from Factory 47. It's a 2017 SGS. Lengthy video, but skip to 46:00. The guy makes it look super easy, but he also took the time to ensure everything was routed correctly beforehand.
