WTF! Brand New 2012 Ultra need to open fairing - Recommendations
#21
you have a warranty- just take it in.
if out of warranty- place tube socks over passing lights, put a thick towel on the fender
remove 3 screws and pull out windscreen.
replace center screw-loosely
remove 4 screws in inner fairing
figure out where you will put the fairing, like a blanket on the bench
go around to front of bike- hold fairing
remove center screw, fairing is now loose, pull back slowly, reach in and pull wire from headlight

Last time mine was inside the dealership was in 07 with 3 miles on it. If you are at all confortable with a wrench there is not much to working it. Had the fairing off this morning to work on amp, nothing to it.
Unlike a street glide your fairing won't fall off when you take the screws out. Passing lamps hold it up nicely. Just don't forget to unplug headlight. The little reset button just pushes through hole and rubber boot screws on to hold it in place.
Good luck and have fun with your new toy

Like others have said, taking the fairing of is easy. I would use it as an excuse to install the garage door opener kit, well worth the time to install. Just toggle you high beam switch and the door automatically opens.
It doesn't hurt to put some old tube socks over the running lights before you start, it will keep you from scratching the fairing.
You'll need a T27 torx, I bought one like this from Sears, it's a lot easier to use than the fold up kind, especially for the bottom screws.

As often as I look at it, which is fairly often. Why?
No such thing as too much information. (don't bother to do the "it's not accurate" thing - I'll worry about that)

Air temp gauge is very close on Dad's UC, but my SG is not even in the ball park. If it's 90 mine says 120. Can't understand the differance, would like air temp guage if it was as accurate as his.
