I am going to replace my inner fairing with a painted one I already own the manual, I'm wondering how hard a job is this? the dealer wants 180.00 to do it

any help?

Very time consuming job for a novice, $180 is a fair value.

 

Have the dealer do it -

 

first time hd owner took about 2-hours to do.

Hard... no. PITA (pain in the a$$).. YES. Go with the dealer.

 

I did mine in 3 hours or so. Take your time and label all nuts and bolts. I used small cups and labeled the cups. Did notreally even use the book at all. I did buy my painted inner before I started so I could tear it down and install the new one all at one time so I would not forget how things came apart. Great up grade
Good luck

 

If you like to work on your bike, it's a very doable project--not hard, just tedious. Took me about 4-5 hours--but I am slow, double check the Service Manual (which has excellent directions) every step, etc. and I installed the HD oil temp gauge/relocated the voltmeter. Besides, I rationalize thatthe money I "saved" doing it myself I can now useto buy more stuff for the bike.

The most likely thing to get messed up is the reassembly of the switch housings--easy to pinch a wire. Fortunately, it went smoothly with no problems.

$180 is a fair price. Your call.

 

Be safe pay the stealer, well worth the $180.00

 

i did mine...took about 2 hours to take apart with lableing everything and about the same to put it together. wasnt to bad just went step by step in the book. going to do my friends this winter....may have to charge him

 

Are you buying the painted inner fairing from the dealer? I have a stock one I will sell for $125, you can have it painted t the local body shop for about $100, you will save about $350 doing it that way.
