It only comes off as one piece... it's a beautiful design.

 

Unplug the turn signals along with the other steps described or you might crack some more parts

 

Don't forget the 2 little pain in the *** push clips down on the lower part of the fairing on the inside. Do the stuff described above then cover the front fender with a towel, spread a blanket on the floor or bench to set it on after it's off, face the bike near the headlight, grab it on both sides near the radiators, spread the fairing outward and pull it forward.

Downloading the service manual would help. https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=11365

Hell of a first bike. Be careful with your right wrist.

 

yeah those plastic push pin things are a **** design. Everything else about the fairing is great though. It's pretty easy to take off. Especially when compared to my 04 R1. What a PITA that thing is to get naked...

And just use common sense when riding this thing. Take it easy. SH was my first bike too. That was 5 years ago. I have no intention of ever selling it. One of the best things I've ever bought.
