I am doing the prep. in advance of measuring valve lash on my 1996 K1100LT. I removed a lot of fasteners on the left lower fairing and arrived at the point where one (apparently) must remove the tip-over bar to allow the fairing bit to come off. The plastic cover on the upper bar end wouldn't budge, and I now have second thoughts as to how the bar itself is removed. Considering my options, the thought occurs to me that there may be enough wiggle room between the valve cover and the fairing lower to allow it to be removed with the fairing lower in place. Is this true? That would be great, as the fairing is probably the biggest headache in checking the valves.
