2011 fairing removal

I need to remove my fairing on my new limited to install my garage door opener. My manual is for an 04' and evidently the procedure has changed some. I have removed the obvious screws for the windshield and only found 2 others on the side of the fairing. Where are the other screws located and "yes" I plan on getting a new manual but as of yet I have not

My senior moment guys, I forgot the 2 in the steering area and had to take bike down off of lift so I could turn wheel to get to. I had my old fairing off several times but like I said"Senior moment". Thanks again

I think there are 2 more inside of the forks aren't there? A total of 3 on each side.

Three hold the windshield, one each side on the outer edge and one each side up under the fairing behind the lower tree....Those are a B*TCH to get back in without a magnetic bit.

Put the center windshield bolt back in after you remove the windshield so the fairing doesn't fall off while you remove the other bolts

Fairing screws

Replace the torx with allen head ones and you can put them on a t- wrench and put them right in.

AMEN to this suggestion. There should be 2 bolts on each side, same as on the older models.
