You been hijacked again harry its been a while since I removed my fairing but am certain you can remove fairing without touching the lights , there is a couple of mounting screws below the headlights which are hard to see , feel round and you'll find them , socket on a long extension will reach them...

It's all good Mr Sharp, not had the time to do any more, plus I want to get some paint to touch up that TV aerial bit mentioned above.I got the fairing yesterday, it's in amazing nick, like new, only slight issue, it's a more red red than my old one so won't quite match. Not sure if my bike is the correct red or if the new fairing is the correct red. Not to worry, hopefully won't show too much. Plus, being a redder red than before my bike will gain an extra horsepower or two!
If you decide to repaint, I found Honda Rio Red car paint from Halfords, a very close match to Yamaha VRC1. Painted my repaired belly plan, and you have to look very hard to see the difference to the tank and fairing.

That must confuse the bike somewhat, the 2 hp that the red belly pan adds to the bike will be more than cancelled by the blue and primer coloured tank and bodywork, thus slowing down the bike overall[ /quote] Indeed. In fact the bellypan regularly arrives home before the rest of the bike has left work
