Default RE: INNER FAIRING

ORIGINAL: jefftrammel

HD Has em...but you better bring your own Vaseline for what they want for it! Do your self a favor....buy an extra inner fairing AND SWITCH CAP on e-bay or some such.....have it painted at your local body shop. THEN....you only have a few hours of down time and you can swap out everything without forgetting where stuff goes. THEN...when your done...sell your original to recoup the cost of the spare you bought. This is what my father and my brother did and it works like a charm. We only had about 3-4 hours doing my fathers swap out....WITHOUT the USE OF A MANUAL! Its not a big deal if you have patience and mechanical ability....and did I mention PATIENCE. Be careful, take your time, and think things out....and be PATIENT. Spares can be had for about 100-150 on e-bay all the time.
Presumably, someone doing the work knew how to remove and reinstall the ignition; remove and adjust the clutch cable on reinstallation; remove and adjust the throttle and idle cables; the torque values for reinstalling theimportant bolts; and, etc.

For those of us less mechanically inclined or incapable of intuitively figuring out the foregoing, and who lack the patience towait for help on this forum in the midst of the project, (I am describing myself, of course), BUY THE MANUAL--it's a tedious thing to have to read and follow instructions (and very unmanly IMO), but I did mine successfully following the detailed instructions in the SM.
