Default FLHTCi Fairing removal
Out of curiosity do you really have to disconnect the fuse before you pull the fairing or can you skip that step? Reason I ask is that I going to be pulling the fairing on my E G Classic and that is the first step in the book which means I have to pull the saddlebag to pull the fuse to pull the fairing????

I've taken mine off a couple of times without removing the fuse.

I think the intent of fuse removal is to prevent a short circuit during fairing removal or working on electrical components in there.

Better safe than sorry I always say! You could just disconnect the battery as well.

My 2 cents (from experience) [8D]

Like it was mentioned it is just for safety. If you pay attention to what you are doing then you dont have to pull the fuse. Just be careful that is all.

Kess,

I ignored the instructions one too many times a couple years ago and shorted out a brand new hd radio. You gotta know what an expensive mistake that was. The saddlebag comes off in about 10 seconds. Take your time and do it right.

Sorry Mike

Terry

I agree, what fuse. Mine has been off a dozen times and I didn't know there was a fuse related to pulling the fairing
