06 fairing removal

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.

I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

I just changed the H4 bulbs over on my tiger, lucky enough it was buy 1 get one free at halfords

had them in the tiger
seem dim in comparison
halfrauds are  brighter than stock
pia are that much better  :bug_eye
I thought the were worth the extra
my opinion only others might differ  :pottytrain2
