Default Inside the fairing projects

The bike is an '07 Ultra.

I've got the fairing apart to install new handlebars this winter. I'm also doing the "driving lights on all the time" mod and hiding the satellite radio antenna and wiring. I was considering doing the garage door opener mod, but I just hang my opener on my clutch cable and use the same on in the car as well. No big deal.

What else should I consider doing whilst the fairing is apart?

Well, all of the above are excellent suggestions. When I installed a painted inner fairing and spun aluminum gauges it was like getting a new motorcycle when I rode it because what I saw in front of me was so different from the stock set-up.

Also, fairing mounted mirrors may work well for you.

While you have the fairing off, get a tube of electrical connector sealant and coat the inside of the connectors. Protects against corrosion and makes them easier to take apart the next time
