Just wondering, how difficult is it to remove the outer fairing from an
Electra Glide Standard? or is there anything online with instructions
on how the outer fairing comes off? I have a set of 4in speakers that
I would like to install, but I am not sure how the outer fairing come off
the inner fairing.

Thanks

 

Very Simple, 7 torx screws. I do beleive that if you do a search here you will find someone has instructions along with photos. A word of advice, when removing the lower screws be carefull, they will fall into your lower triple tree.

 

1. It is not difficult to remove the fairing (5-15 min.)

2. regarding instructions. Buya factory repair manual (about $60 bucks up-front - you get hundreds of dollars in savings each time you refer to it)

3. the bike will take 5 1/4" speakers.

Good luck!

 

Search function....this has been covered many times....you shouldn't have any problems finding instructions....7 screws..done

 

BTW

Pick up a couple of sets of torx (include a t27 in there). Get one set of drivers, and one set of sockets. It wouldn't hurt to have a second set of each that are the "security" torx too( think that is what they call the hollow ones).

 

It's not hard at all. Remove the 3 windshield bolts, 2 from the inner fairing below the speaker openings and 2 between the triple tree. Unplug the headlight and it's off. Do a search i'm sure ther are detailed instuctions w/ pics onthis forum.

SIMPLE ! REMOVE SCREWS ACROSS TOP (NEAR WIDSHIELD) THEN REMOVE 4 INNER SCREWS DONE. COVER FOG LAMPS SO U DO NOT SCRATCH FAIRING .

 

Yep, mine has already eaten two. They simply vanished. Since torx heads are not a standard hardware store item, I went to hex heads on the lower screws.
