If it mounts like a stock Streetglide radio, the trick is using a ball end allen wrench...

Those are the bolts before ya roll forward put one back in on either side as a pivot. Don't allow it to fall to far forward as your ignition switch wires will be first thing to grab. Lighter stays put.

I pulled the radio and tipped the fairing. I don't get how you just tip it like the video. I had to pull bolts lift it up and tip mine. No idea how people can just tip it and pivot on bolt. But overall still pretty simple.

I'd bet he has no idea what that means LOL!!!
OP....there is no need to pull the radio. Take out the 2 bolts on the sides of the forks. If it's a SG it's the bolts that hold the front blinkers on. If it's an Ultra they hold on the spot bracket. Once you've got the bolts out take a flat head screwdriver and stick it between the fairing brackets and the forks and pry outward just a little and push forward on the inner fairing. Do that on both sides and it'll rotate forward out of your way. There is no need to put a bolt in it to rotate on like in the video, it's only gonna go forward so far. And No, springing the bracket out a little to rotate the fairing won't hurt a thing. Cover you tank and fender and get busy.
