Boy O Boy you knocked this one outta of the park Doc!!!! I've been taking my fairing off for years the the tip of loosing the running lights before removing the fairing for more room and holding the bottom rubber seal before re-installing will really help this old shade tree out for sure!!! BTW I use old thick socks to cover my running lights since I don't have any Crown Royal ..... ;-)
Some riders and tech freaks just want to check and clean Doc. Always a pleasure to see you work and hear your advice. I don’t own a batwing but now I sure know how to disassemble them. Gives me something to do on club nights…..😎😜
Great video! I’ve taken my fairing off more times than I can count. Never thought of the rag or losing the side T 40 bolts. Learn something new every day.
Today i needed to remove the fairing to replace the power (lighter) outlet. First thing on my check list was How would Doc do it. I appreciate your videos and knowledge to help me learn. Thanks Doc. 😊
I have had one of the screws fall out after some warranty work. Also had some of the inserts pulled out. I used a locktite product #410 super glue to put them back in. Still holding many years later. I also started using silicone adhesive (a small amount) to act as a light duty locktite. I don't like tightening the top 3 screws much more than snug as the full height windshield is subjected to very strong wind buffering. Thank you for your awesome videos
Thanks Doc ....had to do this a few times on my 2013 Electra Glide Custom when upgrading the radio and gauges....pain in the but those two hidden ones....LOL.....thanks for the tip on the pressing down on the rubber when replacing back the fairing.
Hay Doc. I switched out the 2 lower screws for longer set screws (Locktite them in) and 2 nuts it makes it easier to reinstall the outer fairing by putting them in place first then install the top canter screw then the 2 nuts. I have found this works very well for me.
Great video Doc, if I had a fairing to take off, this would be the go-to place for helpful hints. The little extras like pushing on the seal around the headlight isn't something I would know unless I had been there done that before. Maybe someday I will have a bike with a fairing and will be looking for this video at Low Country Harley. Thanks again Doc for excellent content!
Funny story. A few years back I changed the speakers on my 2012 Ultra. As you've demonstrated I covered the fender and tank and was extra cautious removing the fairing. I replaced the speakers with no problem and reinstalled the fairing screwing in all 7 screws except the last screw which was one of the hidden ones on the bottom inside fell out! well now I have a dilema because everything I tried like compressed air, magnets flashlight and mirror, I was unable to locate this screw. Then I decided to roll the bike out of the garage because I was working in such close quarters and the light was better. I had the bike half way out and I figured this was good enough and I set it on the side stand and resumed my search. Well I turned the handlebars all the way to the right and started looking in all the crevices when I felt the bike going over. I grabbed it but it was too late to stop it so all I could do is lay it down gently. First thing I did was to look around to see if any of the neighbors were watching but there were none so no embarrassing moments. I went around to the other side and lifted the bike up and set it straight. Well guess what! To my surprise the missing screw was lying there on the ground!! So if you ever lose a screw and can't find it, just drop the bike!! LOL
Great video. Little surprise with that HID. lol. I traded my 07 ultra (had fairing off many times) for a 19 limited last year. Installed lower fairing radiator circling "D" lights in the limited. My experience made me think of a possible next fairing video. You may want to put out a video about removing the lower 2 screws on the twin cool lowers. I learned the hard way. Ended up using a Weller 140W solder gun on the head for a couple minutes to loosen the thread lock. Again, thanks for the great videos!
Doc, always good and informative videos! I notice something: you are using a mic for some time, but I always find your voice a little low and with some echo. On this video I noticed that when you pointed out the hidden screws, your voice were much better - your voice is being captured by the camera, not by the mic!!! Double check the way the mic is connected, because it is not working... cheers from Brazil!
hey, Doc I have a question all the way up here in Fort Erie Ontario Canada. How would I fix the copper grommet that is in the batwing fairing as it doesn't stay in and, I have to push or squeeze the front fairing back in place holding my windshield? the other screws are fine but just that one is there an easy fix? I found this and have an FLHTC 2013/ found Canadian Amazon -Motoparty Batwing Fairing Windshield Threaded Brass Insert Restoration Kit Replacement for Harley Touring Electra Street Glide Batwing 1986-2018, for FLHT, Brass Inserts/ thoughts?
@@LowCountryHarleyDavidson I used it and it seemed to do the trick, lol I taught the Doc something, lol thanks always for the lessons and videos hello from Fort Erie Ontario Canada across from Buffalo NY border.
They found that mice had gotten into my fairing!! Chewed two or three wires, just not all the way through, but they were bare and would have caused issues!!!
Re: oversize inserts for Harley Fairing.... Ironically the oversize inserts are the same as common brass "furniture" inserts. Just match to the correct size 1/4 20. perhaps with a dab of jb weld.

Hey Doc. I gotta say I learned a whole lot about my motorcycle because of you, Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this.
Thanks James….Doc

Great info, enjoy your videos. Thanx.
A magnetic bit holder might help in retaining the screws. Just a thought. Good video!
Thanks Lynn….Doc
Nope, mine are plastic.

A little too much Celsius🤪….Doc
😎👍 Big thumbs up for the channel...
Big thanks Okie…Doc
I have a 91 ultra classic. I need to take the out for to replace the speedo cable. Know idea how.
Invest in a Service Manual, search on TH-cam or take it to shop/dealer you trust….Doc
I will look forward to seeing the '95 and older someday. I have a 1995 Electra Glide Classic. Are the fairings removed the same as the Street Glides?
No, you have to remove headlight and remove 4 internal nuts and washers!…Doc

Are the Royal Crown covers reusable, or do you need to get new ones for each job?
Reusable….Doc
Another great video Doc. So tell me, is this info street glide specific? Or does it apply to a others, say a fairing on an ultra classic? Thanks
Any Street Glide from 1996-2013
Doc I got the upgrade head breathers 17025-03A and would like to know where to get the gasket kit. Harley just wants to sell the assembly.
Doc, Street Glide first introduced in 2006.
I guess I should have said Electra Glide?…Doc
When went for the torx did you have a shot of esspresso
Celsius😆…Doc
I watched this video backwards and installed a fairing on my Roadking!
Well Done👏….Doc
Can those brackets that break be replaced without removing the inner fairing?
Yes….Doc
I don't remember the 2 lower screws on my 2015 Street Glide???
Your right Stephen this video covers 1996 to 2013
real informative, just glad my 19 year old Dyna does not have a fairing. 😅
Is it basically the same for a 22 Electra glide standard?
No! In 2014 the mounts changed….Doc
Is it the same for a 2014 ultra ? Thanks Doc
No, Factory changed everything in 2014….Doc
@@LowCountryHarleyDavidson thanks have you done any videos on that year bike
I think Doc Harley was hitting the octane boost a few times. lol.
Love boost…..Doc
They found that mice had gotten into my fairing!! Chewed two or three wires, just not all the way through, but they were bare and would have caused issues!!!
Been there, seen that, pests…..Doc
Thx alot

Local radio shop wanted $150 to R&R that to install a new radio
Guess who didn't get my business
Hoooly Mooooly, someone needs to switch to decaf!
Ha ha 😆 I was worried this video would be too long….Doc
Great video, especially cocaine Doc...hahaha

Crown Royal ,not Royal Crown ,that's why I drink makers mark
If your royal crown bags are upside down, does that make it crown royal?
