I am reading the manual how to remove the gauge. Taking off the fairings have been my biggest fear on working on my bike. So I want to take off as little as possible. I am going to try to see if my hand will fit to take off three bolts under the gauge just taking off the windshield. But even my small hand won't fit there, it said to take off upper cowl. However, don't I need to take off middle cowl to take off the upper cowl? That seems like taking off pretty much all side and front fairings. Any other easy way?

PS. It's for 09

 

umm.. NVM. I figured it out
