How to remove and install brass fittings?
I have removed and reinstalled the fairing on my ultra a few times while installing my ARC mini amp and i seemed to have stripped one of the brass fittings that the screw goes into on the inside of the fairing. Anybody have any words of wisdom as how to remove and re-install them?

The original inserts are knurled on the outside and pressed in the fairing. I imagine that it is spinning when you tighten the screw in it. You can try one of two things. Take a longer screw and thread it into the insert and try jacking it out or grabbing the screw or insert and pulling it out.
The replacement inserts are #16585-96. They are threaded on the outside and are slotted on one end.This is not a screwdriver slot. The slotted end goes in first. It is made to cut its own thread as it is being screwed in. This is done by threading a screw into the insert and driving it into the fairing using the screw,

For the record, the tap size is 3/8-16.
