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

RE: Inner fairing
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.

RE: Inner fairing
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.
