What Bradley said. The bottom 2 (1 on either side) are the trickiest to get back in sometimes. You have to turn the handlebars all the way in each direction to remove each of the 2 bottom screws. You really can't even see them till you turn the bars.
Make sure you use some blue Loctite on the threads when you put the fairing back on. Good time to check you fairing support brackets while inside there...

so165, it might be prudent to stop by the dealer and pick up a couple of extra fairing screws before you do your work. Those bottom screws are a PIA to get back in and you risk dropping 'em into a place where you cannot retrieve them. Ask me how I know!

I actually bought some extras (I think they come in a pack of 3, for about $8 or something like that). I lost the center windshield one (came loose while riding), so I replaced that and the other two are in my toolkit in the saddlebag, along with the other junk I keep "Just in case".

I put 1inch 1/4 20 cap screws in the two bottom holes the 1 inch are not to long
but they are longer than the stock screws making in eaiser to get them started before you tighten all the screws also you can use a 1/4 inch drive socket and extenion to put them in
