For anyone else that needs to know:
From start to finish:
1. Remove the lower gauge cluster trim.
2. Remove the 4mm allen head bolts from the panels just below that piece.
3. Remove the plastic clips and the phillips head screws from the upper and side panels.
4. Remove the two small plastic clips from the upper trim panel (behind the mirror mount area).
5. Remove the top trim by pushing down and pulling it away from the headlamp. It will snap apart with some wiggling.
6. Remove the gauge cluster.
7. Unscrew the 4mm allen head bolts in from the side fairings, then remove the plastic clips from the top of that side pieces.
8. Pull the plastic clips from the bottom of the lower fairing when the two sides are connected together.
9. Separate the right side from the belly wing and pull it gently away from the lower part of the bike.
10. Lift the inner trim of the side fairing up to remove it from a bushing.
11. Find the two small plastic pins under the inner fairing panel, near the top as you look from the front wheel up. Remove them both, and remove the plastic clip from the oil cooler trim.
12. Gently pull the right side down and back while holding the inner fairing panel away from the fuel tank. The panel will pop loose abruptly. Hold on so you don't drop the side. The inner piece that trims the fuel tank sides stays with the side fairing.
13. The left is removed the same way, except it doesn't connect to the belly wing.
14. Remove the oil cooler trim from the left faring. The sides should be completely off now.
15. Pull back the boots of the mirrors and remove the bolts with an 8MM wrench.
16. Remove the 3mm screws from behind the mirror stacks on the outside of the nose cone. Pull the rubber pieces out of the nose fairing by gently twisting them and pulling out. These secure the windscreen to the bike.
16. Remove the two small plastic clips from under the front edge of the nose. The panel under the headlights can be removed now.
If you have made it this far you are ready to unplug the wiring harness, from the left hand side of the bike, that goes to the nose cone. There is a phillips head one screw on each side the on top of each air tube that needs to be removed. You can now remove the now cone by lifting it up and away from the mirror mounts. Once they have been cleared the nose cone can be pulled forward and off.
If I have missed anything please let me know.
