How to Remove a Road Glide Front Fairing

The Harley Davidson Road Glide is a popular motorcycle, as it has bags on the sides of the rear wheel that are convenient for long road trips, and it drives well down the road. These vehicles have plastic fairings on them to conceal the inner workings of the motorcycle and provide styling cues as well. To get to the inner components of the motorcycle, however, you need to take off the fairing, which can be done in about 15 minutes.

Things You'll Need

• Torx-head driver set

Instructions

1. Remove the front turn signals from the front fairings using a torx-head driver. Pull them away from the motorcycle and set them in a safe place.

2. Sit on the motorcycle. Unscrew the six screws holding the fairing to the body using a torx-head driver.

3. Walk around to the front of the motorcycle. Lift straight up on the fairing from the front wheel and remove the fairing from the motorcycle.
