AMP INSTALLATION FOR STREET GLIDE & ULTRA
WINDSHIELD & OUTER FAIRING REMOVAL

1. Remove three outer fairing bolts using a T27
Torx screw driver. The three outer fairing bolts
are located below the windshield. Remove the
windshield, store it and the screws removed in
a safe place for re-installation later.

TIP: Reinstalling the center screw after removing the windshield will
prevent the outer fairing from falling during the next step. A few turns by
hand will be sufficient.

2. Remove four inner fairing bolts using a T27 Torx screw driver. The four
inner fairing bolts are located adjacent to each turn indicator mounting
bracket and below/adjacent to each speaker. Store these screws in a safe
place for re-installation later.

3. While straddling the front wheel fender, grasp the outer fairing, remove
the center outer fairing bolt from the previous step, then gently pull the
fairing apart from the bike. With the fairing slightly pulled away from the
bike, disconnect wire harness for the headlamp and any other accessories.
Lay the fairing on a protected flat surface to prevent damage.
