2020 RT
I want to put a shelf on top of the dash shroud and run wires inside that space.
Has anyone opened front fairing behind the windscreen?
I was hoping someone may have been down this road before and even had a video.
Looking for teardown sequence, not detailed step-by-step.
:bowdown::pray:
Haven't removed the dash cluster, but you might be able to do what you want by removing the front fascia and the headlight assemblies.
That's what I want to do. Any hints on the sequence to get there?
I have a noboot screen lifting arm ready to fit to my S2S, so I would be interested in any tips on removing what jetfixer mentioned. Watching for any information.
I have done it. Not too difficult. I found the hardest part was removing the windshield plate. Once you get that off, there is a screw behind each mirror and one pushpin behind the plate below the headlights. But, I have also had no problem running wires in that area without removing it. You can get some access with the mirrors removed, and the front side panels removed. I used a coat hanger for some of the fishing. I would try that first before digging deeper.
I have a 2020 that the fairing is so sun damaged that it is an embarrassment. I can buy the OEM replacement parts from BRP for about $260, but would love some instructions (as well as others here it seems) on removing the fairing parts, especially the Upper Console Fairing. Local dealer wants about $250-$375 to do it. Doesn't look too difficult, but would love some pointers (a DIY video would be ideal)Quote:

If I remember correctly, the early 2020's (like mine) have a single piece that goes from the lower edge of the windshield to the handlebar support; the newer models have a two-piece console. It will make a big difference in how it comes apart. The most difficult part on mine was unplugging the instrument cluster, I had to slide my hand up from the left side and unlock the plug and got pretty scraped up.
RayBJ, this is probably of little help to you, but I removed the cowl after hitting a pothole that was so rough that it dislodged the instrument cluster. I used Joel’s instructions (which I can no longer find). This is what it looks like under there when you get it off.
