Hey ST...sorry no pics with it off. Its REALLY easy to remove though. I think its a 3mm Hex, 8,10,12mm end wrench (i think I might have snuck a 5/8ths in there hehe) plus 3/4 end wrench for the turn signal posts. Once you have all that off, its just a matter of stretching it out on the sides enough to scoot it forward and up...and you got yourself a BAD ARSE naked lookin Sprint! It looks a little raw, like it could use some plastic somewhere covering things up, but thats a good thing! I mean it when I say it looks BAD...reminded me of the terminator movies with all the exposed stuff...I wonder though if it would be very good in the rain, you might run into trouble eventually.

Start with the hex bolts on the windshield then move inward from there, there are a bunch of hex bolts holding the dash on, but none of them have nuts, the mostly has them built in to the parts you're taking off, then move to the brackets...be careful to remove the metal pieces in the bracket bushings, one on front and one on back of each bushing i think...I forgot those and lost three or four of them!

Putting it back on is easy too, I'ts pretty obvious which bolts go where...the only thing I had a bit of a hard time with is the dash which is in two pieces and then has some tabs that you have to fit it together with in the middle and the back side. It fit together fine though.

I'll tell you I really liked it off alot. But, the wind factor was brutal compared to having the faring on.

OH HEY I just rememberd I saw a Sprint without the faring on it on ebay...I'll get you some pics! (its a '98, but close)
