Will do.

Did the changeover today to the 2010 Style fairing mounts to allow the installation of new style lowers. No Photos were taken. It is pretty easy, a buddy is a big help to hold the fairing and help with pulling wires out of the old bracket and back into the new one. Only took about an hour to change, but then had to remove the outer fairing and relocate/secure almost all of the main wiring harness, the headlamps sit farther back into the opening due to the angle and the wiring below the radio had to be moved to allow the headlamps to clear. Suggest you remove the headlamps and bezel from the fairing before replacing it, then guess/adjust the headlamp adjustors before putting them back into the fairing, also allows you to check and make sure nothing is in the way of where the headlamps need to sit. Took two times to get the aim correct. I did put a mark on the wall for ctr of beam before starting and just readjusted aim to ctr of that. Anyone could do this, with a friend, and save a hundred over the older style fairings and glove boxes. I really don't think anyone would ever know you had changed the brackets, visually, unless you told them. $139 for the three brackets and $520 for the painted fairings with glove boxes (total $659) beats the $756 for the old style (lowers and gloveboxes). I bought the quik disconnect with the savings. Oh, you could adjust the headlamps with everything back together, but you need a 5MM Deepwell socket and I didn't have one.

Is this the same process you would use to install 2008 style lowers on an 09 ?

I'm going to play my ingnorant card for the day right now.

I've been following this thread but to be honest with everyone, I've NOT followed it, so to speak.

I have an '09 SERG and have had the fairing front off and had to tweak a couple items, but for the life of me I still cannot follow what all this new mount hoopla is all about.

If it's for lower fairings, I know several here have installed them without any "new" 2010 style brackets.

So the $64.00 question is, JUST WHAT DO THESE NEW 2010 BRACKETS DO FOR THE 2009 SERG?

It allows you to apply the new style fairing lowers with vents.

And then you save a handful bucks because the new style vented fairings should be cheaper than the old style ones and adding the aftermarket vents . ( But the new style ones don`t have the recurve at the top)

Here are the difference between the 2 lowers. These are available thru Hawg Sounds. With or without speakers.

Looks Cool, so you have to change the fairing mount to add the new brackets for the fairing lowers? Great pics!

[HawgSounds]

If you want to used the Harley Vented Lowers which look nicer and let more air into the motor to cool. Yes. If you like the non vented lowers (which you can add the aftermarket vent) then No.
