Remove 6 torx screws from inner fairing. Remove turn signals. Make sure you protect front fender

Pick up a service manual... you may need to get a Torx etc.. forgot what size it is and it's raining here or I would run out and check for you. Getting it lined up and the tabs in place going back on is the worst of it.

Remove the headlight assembly before re-installing the outer fairing. Then you will be able to see when the fairing is on the support hooks! Then just stick the 3 headlight adjusting screws back in place and snap them in.

Thanks for the quick response.

I removed the turn signals and the 6 torx screws and there seems to be something still hangin on.
It seems to be behind or around the h/lights. Yall have any other suggestions?

You need to lift the fairing up to get it off the hooks, then once it's loose reach around and unplug the headlight.

That is another good question. Does the w/s have to come off?
