Can't believe I have to post this already :dash2:
How do I get this upper cowling off?
I've removed all the screws I can find, the windshield, the two side-panels that accompany the upper-cowling (fuse-box/choke cover & air-vent).
The top is loose, no hangups.
The sides are loose, no hangups.
Seems to be stuck on the headlight? Maybe? IDFK but I've been at this for over an hour and am contemplating using a mallet. :flag_of_truce:
Thought I would search here first. Didn't find anything so I posted.
You have to remove the bolt on each side of the headlight inside the fairing.
Be careful that the headlight assembly doesn't fall when you remove the fairing.
After you get the plastic out of the way, you can run a ziptie through the bolt holes to hold it in place.
