is there alot involved in replacing an inner fairing?? and also chroming the front end..

 

What model bike?

 

I do not know about chroming the front end but I did change out my inner fairing. Was not too hard to do. I was able to complete the job in four hours including replacing the handle bars which I ran the wiring through. Do yourself a favor before you start; purchase an ignition switch alignment tool.

 

A flat blade screwdriver will work.
Also an HD service manual and a camera will help.

 

Label everything and take lots of pictures.
Neither job is too hard.
Check the manual and do a search on the forum.
The hardest thing was lining up the ignition but once you do it you'll say WTF that wasn't that hard.

 

Both jobs are not that tough...there are some things to watch out for.

Inner Fairing
-- Ignition Switch is scary at first but once you figure it out, it's not that bad. After I got the lowering cap off, I put the switch back in so I don't forget how and so I could turn the front end.

Chrome Front end
-- Watch out removing the 6 or 8mm brass screw that hold the lower on. They strip easy...trust me I know. If you do, just get a tap out set and get it out.
-- Fork seals can be tough if you don't have the right tool. I just purchased a PVC pipe the same diameter as the seal, cut it a little longer than the top of the fork assembly and use a rubber mallet to drive it in. Works like a charm.
