I'm not sure there is a right or wrong way!

For the Cabrio, the manual advises fitting the nose cone, and then work backwards fitting the side panels, the A panels, then hang the doors, then offer the tub up to them, which struck me as a reasonable way to approach it.

The problem I would have had with starting at the back is how to determine where the tub will attach in 3 dimensional space? There does not seem to be a natural starting point. Working from the front, the nose cone has a fixed plane to attach it to on the chassis on the Cabrio, so seems to make a better starting point. I do not know how the Sportster nose cone attaches, so this may not be so simple on the Sportster?
