One question here: I installed my Canyon Cages without making the cut in the middle fairing which would allow later fairing removal. Is it possible to make the cut with the Cages in place? Or must I remove the Cages in order to make the cut?

Or must I remove the Cages in order to make the cut?Yes, it is possible, I just did mine. I took the blade out of the hacksaw and was careful while cutting. It was actually really easy, and way better than taking the cages off.
Great pictures...love the green bike.

Thanks for the vids Highett!! You make it look so easy like those home improvement shows. I too made the modifications and have been practicing removing and replacing. You're much faster than I am at it. When re-attaching, right side always seems to go on much easier than the left. Not sure why but I'll keep practicing. Maybe if you get some time, can video re-attaching.
BTW, just moved from Perth back to Austin, TX. Spent last three years there. Loved it! Thanks again for those vids.
Interesting. I remember examining the situation closely before determining it couldn't be done properly/safely without removing them from the bike first. Perhaps you are just more adventurous than I
I personally think that there is very little or no time difference removing or refitting with or without the cages fitted.But why would you want to spend another 10-15 minutes taking cages off? Plus they mount to motor mounts, the less screwing around with those bolts the better.
They are fiddly either way.

Guess it depends on the work needed to be done. I am replacing a ballast and I had no reason to pull the cages of if it was not necessary.
Again, great videos.
Gumby you misunderstood what I meant.
I meant the time it takes to remove the fairing with the cages on is about the same as it was before I fitted the cages. before & after was fiddly.
Gumby you misunderstood what I meant.Yes, it is entirely possible that I read your post wrong I do that often, depends on how many beers in I am

Thank you very much for taking the time to put this video together! It really came out great! I get quite a few inquiries from people asking about this mod and now I can refer them to this video.
