Oil temp gauge
Nice riding with you last summer when we did the PA Grand Canyon. Since you have the fairing off, buy an oil temp guage and replace that worthless air temp gauge while in there.

do a search and buy a manual. Taking the outer fairing off to replace the speaker is a snap. Seven screws, three across the top front, two either side, one below the speaker and one below that goes through the skirt to the fairing. Take them all out except the center windshield screw (top of fairing) put a towel on the front fender in case you drop a screw, tool or the fairing. Remove the last screw while holding the fairing, lift out the windshield and the pull back the fairing and disconnect the headlight harness and its off. When re installing be careful not to over-tighten the screws as this will pull out the threaded inserts or worse crack the fairing around the insert.
Hopes this helps
Good Luck!

+1. What he said, except I don't remove the headlight. I just unplug the connector that goes to it after I pull the last screw out of the windscreen ( standing in front of it so I don't drop it)

Hey Frank --- Nice to hear from you! I'll look into it! Thx. Did I have my 103 Limited yet, when we rode?

Riding blind
I don't think so, we rode the Canyon around Aug 20/21 and you led the group and I was riding tail gunner or close to it. If it hadn't been for you, we would not have gotten there. You saved Doug Smith from having a real bad day.
