I purchased the HD front fork lowering kit and will be installing in the coming weeks. I figured while I have the front fairing removed I should probably take care of as much as I can now so as not to have to remove it again anytime soon. Some other plans are to replace stock handlebars with touring pullback bars, replace useless air temp guage with oil temp guage and upgrade to Hogtunes. What other mods require the front fairing to be removed? I may not necessarily be planning to do those things, but then again I might. Thanks.
RE: What else to do while front fairing is removed?
I will modify my spots to remain ON even while high beam is on the next time my fairing is off. A close encounter with a deer last weekend sealed the deal on my decision. The more light, the better IMO.

Don't know what year your bike is, but you can put the XM antennae in there. I've seen some SE bikes that simply put them on top of the radio itself.......factory did it. You could also relocate your ambient air temp sensor to outside the fairing.
