Removing the upper cowl is relatively simple. There are 8 allen head screws (3 per side fairing, 1 on each innerfairing) and two of the little black screw clips on the inside around the radiator. There's only 1 electrical cable that connects all the electronics in the front fairing to the rest of the bike. The mirrors have to come off too. The rest of the front fairing is one assembled piece, so pieces will fall out.

I don't think it would have been possible to do the turn signals on the front without removing the front fairing. Putting the front fairing back on was a chore though. I got the right side on easier than the left, I think because there weren't any cables to fight with. Once I screwed the right side on (the easier side) I was able to take care of the left. Just be careful not to drop it.

Thanks, I took it off before I got to look at this but it was really simple. What I found once I got it off wasn't very nice, the two upper tabs that hold the headlight in place were broken. It still stays there, but I'm going to get it fixed so it doesn't get worse.

BTW I put my frame sliders on today using the laser level and it worked perfectly, thanks for all of the help.

Here is one thing about flushmounts and turn signal eliminators on one bike, people can not see your turnsignals when they are directly in front of you and its hard to see the back ones during the day, make sure you watch other people closely when you are turning.
