Thread talks about removing the inner fairing but does naturally cover the outter fairing removal process as well.

Not trying to make fun... because I almost had the same thing happen to me while removing wax from the fairing. My garage floor leans a twards the center of my garage and if I have the bike pulled it the wrong direction it stands more straight up than the other way. luckily one of my buddies was standing there watching me and drinking his beer and was able to put out a hand and stop it all without spilling a drop.
So yes I can see how it is possible and I am sorry to hear there was no saving yours. And like others have said 3 windshield screws and 4 on inside of fairing. But leave the center windshield screw for last so as you don't drop the fairing on your front fender! then just squeeze the headlight connector to remove it from the lamp.

 

was wonderin the same thing.....hoooooooow?

 

After reading Texas F B response, I spilled a whole mouthful of beer. FUNNY. I was just thinkin- ????

R.I.P. mirror, sorry for that mishap.

 

Sorry for your mishap. got to know did the stand give out or just sink?

 

A friend of mine was moving my bike forward and the stand must have folded backward just enough that it not in the slot; when he let it back down on the stand it fell all the way over.

Outter Fairing has to come off to replace the mirror.
