06 fairing removal

[Grambo]

I'm getting conflicting instructions on how to remove the fairing on my '06 Tigger. Is it true that I have to remove the wind screen? Supposidly this will uncover two bolts but I don't see any bolts there ? The Haynes manual sucks when it comes to this IMHO. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Yes, you have it correct. There should be (4) screws holding on your windscreen and (2) larger m6 panhead screws under the windscreen. You will also need to remove the body panels for the turn signals. This will expose the other (2) panhead screws on left and right of fairing.

Thanks Joe! I'll check it out tonight. And is it pretty straightforward on adjusting the beam vertically and left to right?

Yea, there are some knobs you'll have to turn on the back of the lamps. It's not much different than on autos.

new bulbs are in and they are fantastic! a much needed improvement for nighttime visibility. Thanks for the suggestions and help! Now waiting for my Palmer Windscreen to arrive and I think I'm done with upgrades for a while

The bulbs were $90.00 US...I thought I was going to pass out!! But they are well worth the money!
Just bought a Metric Torque wrench as I am sick and tired of doing the Imperial conversions (lol)
New rear brake pads

And new front, rear sprocket and chain

had them in the tiger
seem dim in comparison
halfrauds are  brighter than stock
pia are that much better 
I thought the were worth the extra
my opinion only others might differ
