Also, before you remove the outer fairing, make sure you cover your front fender with a thick towel or blanket to protect the paint in case the fairing slips out of your hands for some reason.

Good luck and ride safe!

...but if you gotta move on the airing before then, make sure you cover your passing lamps with some socks so they don't scratch your fairing during removal and reinstallation.

you have to unplug the headlight too - headlight stays in place on the fairing, just unplug the 3-prong plug.
I also would put a folded up towel on the front fender to protect it.
