MKII Side Faring Air Vent Removal Process?

[GolfVenture]

Once the single screw is removed from each fairing side air vent then whats the procedure in getting them off of the fairing?

I normally just go to the opposite side of the screw with my finger tips and pull/pry it out after I remove the screw.

Brian,

It can be a bit of a pain to remove those scoops without damaging the two tabs opposite of the screw. The tabs are deeply notched to catch a lip around the perimeter of the fairing opening. Like Randy says, try to wiggle/slide the scoop toward the centerline of the bike while twisting the screw side out. I broke one of the tabs off the my chrome scoops while installing. But once the screw is installed it can't fall out nor is it loose. The scoop has to fit inside the black plastic duct that is inside the fairing when reinstalling. It wasn't easy to do on my bike.

Tks. I got them off without breaking off the tabs.
