tried to post longer question ...but seems cant write in more than 2 lines. how to remove fairing dash to access a 12v power for a GPS wire. any photos ?

 

Would like to know as well. Guys help!!!

 

To get into the fairing you will have to remove the outer shell. Here's a thread with step by step instructions.

 

thanks Bertk,,, great help...
question - would it be easier to remove the inner fairing ?

 

The "dash" ("Fairing Cap" in Harley-speak) can be removed without removing the outer fairing or inner fairing.
&nbsp\\;
The Service Manual explains how to remove the ignition switch\\; then remove the screws on either side and unplug the electrical connector.&nbsp\\; My '04 procedure is different from your '08.

 

I just took off the front fairing and connected to the back of the cigarette lighter.

Or you can quickly take out the headlight (just a few screws) and find the 12V accessory plug back there.

You are welcome.

The inner fairing cannot be removed with first removing the outer fairing

Outer fairing can be removed in 3 minutes (7 screws).&nbsp\\; Inner fairing closer to 3 hours!&nbsp\\;
