| removing nose cone..... Its a lot easier if you take the fairing lowers off first!!! Then the nose cone can be removed, by removing the mirrors and the bolts underneath the fairing (by the air intakes). As for the mirrors, as already stated, you just remove the allen bolts holding the mirrors on and pull them out to release them from the clips. If you have got screws holding the mirrors on, then this may not be right, as the correct bolts are shear bolts and are therefore designed to be the first break point should you drop her. So in theory you'd save the nose cone from snapping or breaking! If you've got screws in here, these may not be shear ones? (As a note, when refitting shear bolts, don't overtighten these when you're putting the fairing back on as you can easily snap them)  Basically, once the bolts (screws!!!) are removed, you can just pull the mirrors off, there should be a thin rubber pad between the mirrors and the nose fairing also. Good luck Tim  |
