Re: [ST] body replacement panels

[Wesley Horner <wesman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I managed to remove all of the farings on the front of the bike from the 
whindshield to the belly pan with out any instructions.  Basically you
can't go wrong removing screw until there are no more on each pannel
until it comes off.  You will find you removed a few extra but that is better
than breaking the tabs on the farings.  beware of the turn signal light wires
(the unplug) and the 3rd eye light (also unplugs).  Also make sure you
get all the screws around the radiator.  There are more than you think
at first glance.

The rear faring requires removal of the rear handle.  It is a bit of a leap
of faith pulling the edges of that piece out of the rubber anchor points
on the tank.  I always think it is going to break.  But so far it hasn't.
Silicone lubricant helps with that.  Make sure you unplug the tail light.

My old sig was about Vaxen and VMS but I can't even figure out 
the name of the company that owns them anymore.
