Looking for instructions on removing fairing on 09 Road Glide to replace speakers.

[GregKhougaz]

See reply #'s 4 & 5 here:  Road Glide Fairing Removal???.  Note #1 priority is to cover the front fender!  Here are the pages from the Service Manual:



and

Thank you.

Greg, I noticed this is from a 2006 manual.  Anyone know if there are differences removing an 06 fairing and an 09 fairing, given the changes to the 09 frames and all?

You do not have to remove the windshield to pop off the front of the shark nose.

If you do not have one get a manual for your bike.

R&R of the front part of the fairing (nose) is pretty easy just take your time and cover up your fender as your working over it. If your is like mine (2001) once you remove the lowers (if your have them) remove the side acorn nuts and bolt assembly (on mine one bolt is longer than the other so just make sure the assemblies goes back on as you removed them). Then remove the screws that hold the cover in place (6, I think). At that point the nose is ready to be removed. Grab the nose from the front of the bike and lift up on it as it is latched inside. At that point it will free be in your hands and the only other thing that needs to be done is to disconect the light assembly wires. To replace the nose I first remove the light assembly from the nose so you can easily re-latch the nose. Once the nose is in place and the screws and side acorn nuts put in/on, just re-attach your light wires and snap the light assembly into the nose (if I remember this is not the way they describe it in the manual). They may have made some changes but that is the way I do it on mine.

No difference.

Took fairing off to put in new speakers & amp. Now cant get it to line back up on the edges where the bolts go thru to hold in place. Any tips on getting back on correctly. Have a gap only on left side up near windshield & also down the side. It seems like its hitting on something & not allowing it to slide up further. But i cant see anything that its hitting on in there...

[tjstreetglide]

what kind of speakers and amp and where did you place the amp?

[GregKhougaz]

If you search, you will find:  Road Glide Fairing Removal / Installation.    The pages shown are from an '06 but the process has not changed.

Hawg wired dbl shot system installed. Put amp were they suggested. Problem is on opposite side of fairing from amp placement. Just seems like fairing won't go back to where all edges are flush up against rubber trim moulding on left side. I've had the fairing off several times before thou.  Put now it won't all line up.

  Sory I have to laugh, at my self of cource. I have the Harley Manuals so when  I up graded with hog wired I  had the fairing off under 20 miniutes.  Could not get it back in place for anything. I tried 3 differen't days the last time with my wife helping. I just could not get the slots to line up with the bracket, radio, supports.  Finaly took to dealer who told me they only have one teck who can get these back on right.  I figure there is a guy in York, Pa who must put 50 or so of  these on each day. What is the trick?

...   I just could not get the slots to line up with the bracket, radio, supports.  ...  What is the trick?

See directions above.  Make sure there is nothing in the way of the two hooks.  For me, line up the fairing where you think it should be then using both hands, puch up and forward, then down to catch the two hooks.  Then move to either side and line up the tabs.  Still it's not always easy.  Hope this helps.  I'm going to install the new J & M amp this weekend so we'll see.
