    I'm in the middle of stripping all the plastics off my XB9R I just got to paint it and for the life of me, I haven't a clue how to pull off the tail section fairing. I removed the bolts around the seat mount, the one under the pass. seat, and the two on the bottom near the front. Any more? Or is it just a case of wiggling it out? Thanks!

    you have to grab the fairing down by where it mounts to the section just under the air box,with one hand on each side pull the plstics outward,like at 9 and 3.as your doing this slide the fairing towards the rear and once you get to a certin spot it will come free,do this caerfully,don't break anythig.and fyi,be careful when putting the fairing back on,it is very easy to get your fingertips caught under the sides as it is a very tight fit and it hurts like hell.hope this helps.

    I think you have to remove the tail light too.
