As per the title i have bought carbon frame covers but they fit underneath the fairing at the front. Can i just remove the top part of the fairing and is it easy to do? I believe there are two plugs female and male plus bolts? Any advice would be appreciated

Only the obvious 😕
Very carefully is the name of the game. The bits that pop in to the rubbers can be brittle and quite easily broken I?ve heard.
Try to see where these are and try to get your fingers each side and as close to the popper as possible. Then gently and evenly ease them apart.
I reassemble using rubber lub to make the job not so scary the next time 🤭

Just be careful and don?t rush it and you should be fine.
Hope this helps👍
 
As above its easy to do but the different tabs can be broken without too much force. The poppers are to the upper rear of the side panels and pull out.
 
When re-assembling don't over-tighten any screws especially those that fix the side panels to the belly pan as tabs that hold the metal clips easily snap
 
Piss easy removing and replacing each part.... I used a 3/8 drive ratchet, extension and matching Torx/Allen sockets to undo the fasteners.. I bought a box of Clips, fasteners off EB and replaced them all one by one...bit of silicone spray lube on the fingers that slide into the rubbers helps but not critical... nip up each fastener by feel...
