upper fairing removal

[2005BlueBusa]

hey guys, i've searched the forum & the net but can't find a good explanation on removing the upper fairing, the one that wraps around the headlight.

any ideas?

Remove the mirrors, the rubber just pulls back from the cowling. You'll either have screws or bolts depending on model. Remove the two plastic rivets under the nose toward the motor. Take a nail, etc. and push the center in gently about an 1/8 of an inch and remove rivets. Remove three allen screws on each side of the cowling connecting the nose to the side fairing. Remove two allen screws connecting the upper inners to the cowling near the mirrors on the inside. Gently pull the cowling off and over the mirror mounts and ease it off. Disconnect white connector near relays under clutch handle once exposed. Hope I didn't forget anything. It's early

got it thanks for the tops guys. i was there already, i was just a little hesitant to pull it off the bracket for fear of breaking something.
