Default whos got a faster way to swap the rear shock?

does anyone have a fast way of swapping out the shock? i was thinking you could pull it out over top the rear wheel and not have to pull my lower fairing off, i just wanna avert pulling it off cause i got a whole mess of wiring on the lower fairings, any ideas?

I just did one in 30 minutes or less but with the lower off. With the sidestand down, Put a jack under the RH lower mount tab and lift it. It's much easier with the rear wheel out of the way/ removed. But the lower must come off. You could try a jack under the RH peg bracket with the lower fairing on.
