michaelokielee did you have to remove your fairing to get enough wire to disconnect old and connect new? If so did you have to remove the fang spoiler to remove the top of the fairing?
I started to replace mine with CD ProBeam signal/driving lights and there was not even enough wire to disconnect the factory signal lights so I stopped the install.
I had to remove the Fairing on mine because the tech that built my bike did not give me any extra slack. I am sure it just depends on the bike, depending on the person that routed the harness for the signal. If you can pull yours out enough to see the JAE connector, you can stick a screwdriver up in the signal housing to push the release tab on the connector. The Custom Dynamics lights come with a 3 inches of extra wire, so install is easy once you get the factory led out.
To answer your second question, you do have to remove the (2) screws on each side attaching the Fang to the Fairing, (1) screw each side under the Front Speaker covers, (1) Cap bolt in Signal Housing on each side, and (2) screws on each side of Windshield,(12) total to remove the Front Fairing.
