Side Panel / Fairing Removal

I've taken mine off before - definitely remove the indicator bolt, then the whole thing slides forward and unclips (I recall).

I'm confident that someone else will confirm very shortly...

 

No one confirmed - and I was confident they would. Just shows that you can't trust me.

I wouldn't go full gorilla, but it might need half-monkey - it will unclip/slide off with some wiggling and gentle persuasion.

Here's a picture of the back (from eBay). I think there's a bracket that attaches to those three holes that comes off with the side cowl. I definitely didn't have to unscrew anything that was out of sight or reach.

 

How did you get on with the removal in the end? I’m going to attempt the same this morning. Also did you remove the colour decals off the tank etc? I’ve covered mine and am happy, but still trying to see if anyone has removed the decals!
Cheers

 

Just as an update and for anyone else who’s interested, it’s dead easy.
1. Undo the indicator bolt
2. Wiggle free the whole panel (side panel and black plastic vented piece that it’s screwed to) by pulling forward and backward gently. There’s a small plastic clip that holds it to a front bracket.
3. Disconnect indicator wires.
4. Unscrew the carbon piece (which was the but I wanted to change).
5. Screw on replacement and just do the above in reverse order.

I just had to remove and refit these tiny b*****d carbon side panels as I had to get to the top nuts of the radiator guard which lie beneath, to be able to move the radiator guard out of the way at the bottom so I could then access the top bolt securing the oil cooler to fit an Evotech oil cooler guard. Who ever at Triumph designed the fixings for these carbon side infill panels should be fired. They are awful to get off and put back on. Anyway all back together now and fully guarded.
