Default 1991 Batwing Fairing Removal

I searched and found tons of threads on the newer fairing removal. Anyone remove an older one?

Pull the head light, loosen the 4 nuts inside, 2 each side, then remove the 5 across the windshield.

A ratchet wrench comes in real handy for the 4 inside the headlight opening!

you also need to remove the light bar...2 bolts each side.. top ones you can loosen..lower ones need to be removed.

( the inside ones are nuts..not screws... 13mm if I recall correctly...)

Like they said and then get ready for the time of your young life when you go to put it back together. You need an extra arm and six fingers on each hand. It takes a ton of patience first time around but it WILL go back together, trust me.

Yep, forgot about the light bar, been a while since I had that kind of fun!
