Fairing Removal
I have an '05 Ultra Classic E-Glide - want to install Hogtunes speakers. What is the process for removing the front half of the fairing? Do I need to remove the headlight assembly first (that is easy enough), but then what?

RE: Fairing Removal
Using a Torx 27, remove the 3 screws under the windshield and remove the windshield. From the other side, remove 2 screws (1 each side) by the hand grips. Now, turn the bars full left and on the right side near the neck, remove 1 screw. Then full right and remove the left side screw. Lift up and forward and unplug the headlight. Lift off fairing.

RE: Fairing Removal
Hey, Phil ....
Thanks a bunch!! That was incredibly easy (with your guidance)!
Boy, the HOGTUNES speakers are an awesome improvement. All you got to do is hold the OEM speaker in one hand and the HOGTUNES speaker in the other hand and you can immediately tell the quality difference. The OEM is just plain junk.
Guess I'll have to order the rears now ...
Thanks again, Phil.

RE: Fairing Removal
You're very welcome. I guess I've had my fairing off over half dozen times. [&:] Oil temp guage, Hogtunes, XM radio (three times), fairing mount mirrors (twice so far with at least one more to go)... I'm getting pretty good at it. 
As for you, Terry, you're in competition with my nomination for "bike of the month" Bill Nourse, so NO! Anyway, I never did like the roadglides... [

However, yours has turned my thinkin' around. Very nice bike you got there. Very nice! I'll be happy for you to win also, for sure!
