Not very hard but helping hands, pictures, notes and patience will help. I have done 3 times now it seems pretty easy most of the stuff is pug ins. Make sure you replace the zip ties you have to cut, use painters tape to protect some critical areas. Everything stays on that mounted on the fairing and rest stays on the bike all the electronic including radio.I put old and new fairing on my bed and transfer each piece one at a time ,little easier on the 08 or later touring bike due to TBW.

 

find a buddy with a bike like yours, park his next to yours.. take off his outer fairing and use it as an example.. works like a charm...
