Here is a brief write up on how to open the panels;
Steps to remove the panels for your 99-07 Hayabusa;
1. Tools needed for the job
a. Large Sizzers to cut the Mesh
b. 400 gm tomato paste tin (used to curve the mesh)
c. Screw Driver flat head
d. Regular tools to remove the panel (Allen key and other stuff)
2. I used Velcro to stick the mesh and to the panels.
3. Open the riding seat.
4. Open the right side Panel first, leave the centre screw intact and open all the rest of the screws along with the single plastic tap on top. Open the centre screw last.
5. pull the panel out – pulling it upwards and towards your self at the same time.
6. Open the left panel in the same way.
7. I assume that you donâ€t need to change the mesh in the faring so I am not adding details of how to open the faring.
8. To Open the rear panel (tail faring) open the rear seat.
9. there are 4 bolts on top of the fender below the seat – remove these
10. On both side of the fender there is a hook for tie down – these have a black plastic tip – remove the tip and you will see a Allen key hole – open both the bolts
11. There are plastic tabs (total 8) two are on the top side on the painted panel (this joints the panel under the front seat. To remove these tabs just push the centre plug in and the tab pull them out, they come off very easily (If the tabs are not coming off with very little pulling efforts then you are doing some thing wrong). There are 3 tabs each on the lower side (see picture) remove these
12. To remove the rear panel you have to undo the cable for the rear seat lock. Remove the cable outer ring from the clip and then remove the inner from the lock (to be done by hand no tools needed.)
13. While removing the rear panel you will have to undo the connection for the rear tale lamp (cable connectors).
