No, you need to take off the fairing. They are secured by a kind of clip on the back side.so i just got some smoked signals from D2 Moto and im gonna install them tomorrow. The question i had was do I need to take off the fairing? and how do I take off the stock ones? Can i just twist them off from the outside and then undo the connector? Im just afraid of breaking the fairing or a clip that I may need in the back
Taking off the fairing is really easy. Take off the radiator cover in the front (4 bolts), pop the quick release faster that holds the two fairings together in front, then simply remove all the bolts holding the fairing on. Pretty easy.
Putting my radiator cover back on is the only pain in the ass...bolts never want to line up right, just takes patience and lots of cursing.
