Does anyone know if you have to take the radio out to take out the inner fairing?

 

What model? RG,EG,or SG?

 

Yes, and that's about the easyiest part of the job, one harness connector, four screw's and unplug the antenna, that's it! Putt

 

Doesn't matter, same procedure on either road glide or electra glide....

 

It is a 07 Ultra. And I take the gauges come first also.

 

No, my suggestion would be, first, purchase a service manual if you havn't done so already. Also, a digital camara is a useful tool, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand word's, Putt

 

Got most of everything off. Taking my time. Some of the gauges are hard to get to though.

 

I guess the '07 Ultra is different from the '04 Ultra, because, according tothe '04 Touring Model SM,the 2" gauges aren't removed from the inner fairing; each issimply unplugged from their two interconnect connectors and are removed with the inner fairing.

 

Actually if a person had a mind too. He could take every gauge out with the inner fairing, just by unpluging them from the harness.
I guess it all depends on the "why" the inner fairing is being removed in the first place.

And no the radio dosen't "need" to be removed, but is really not a bad idea to, since it will give you more room to unplug the idiot lights under it.

 

When I removed mine I took pictures (like puttnutt said)so I could see how the harness/wiring was routed and I used duct tape to label each connection. Made it a snap to reinstall.

I removed the radio to make it easier and left the gauges in. The radio is such a minor part of the deal.




Good luck
