Also the inner was changed in 08 correct? What's different about the new ones?

TIA

Took me about 4 hours to do it myself on a saturday afternoon. Just label everything and you will be fine. I also took pictures at each step just to help me out if I Had to leave it for a few days.

Regarding the changes in '08, I think the only things that changed were the extra screw hole for the fairing wings and there is no hole for the throttle cables.

I dig the look of Painted Inner Fairings; it was a must have for my bike. (Paint by FBI.)

I love a painted dash. Can't imagine owning a bike without one. I did the labour myself, with a manual. Take your time, it's no big deal. The painter charged me $200.
