Title: Fairing removal
Post by: timleslie1957 on October 31, 2017, 02:39:51 PM
Don't know where this goes but here goes!

Trying to take fairing off my 89 FJ1200 to troubleshoot smoked wire(s) and to do some repairs on cracks and such.  Have all off that I can see visible but something holding it tight around headlight.  Are the two bolts either side I see near lights from inside to be taken off?  If so, how?  I have turn signals our, inside panels off, instrument cluster shroud off, etc.  HELP?

Yes, there are 2 bolts. each side of the headlamp that hold the front cowl in place, 12 mm bolts, if I remember right

If you are talking about the ones i think that you are, mine are accessible from underneath the headlight, and are hex bolts. But not sure if thats standard.

When you remove those 2 bolts, be careful as the headlight will fall out. IIRC
