I did it last winger. It's more intimidating looking than it really is. There's a thread here with step by step pictures. I think the only real problem that i had was re-installing the ignition switch.

Prepping and sanding was the hardest part. Removing and re-installing was breeze.

exactly what I did. Took about 2 hours the first time, but got it down to about 1 hour now.

what I will NEVER do again is pull the inner on a Roadie... No way, no how! What PITA that is!

While it looks like a mess, I thought it was pretty easy to swap them out. I did my own on my prior SG, as well my my brother-in-laws. It is so worth it to do it. It just makes the fairing pop when its painted. It took me about 45 min to tear it apart using the tutorial here and couple hours to put back together being extremely careful not to scratch anything.
