It's not rocket science. Remove the 7 torx screws and unplug the headlight

The inner fairing, not the outer fairing! Maybe not rocket science, but a little more than 7 torx screws I believe.

I got a video that shows step by step instructions but it's proprietary to HD. It's really not that difficult. Remove the windshield and outer fairing. Remove the passing lamps. Once the four bolts to the passing lamps are removed, disconnect all electrical connections between the chassis and the inner fairing (best to label them to reduce stress). Remove the ignition and panel under the ignition. While standing in front of the bike and straddling the fender, lift up on the inner fairing (as if you're trying to lift it up from the handlebars) and rotate the top towards the front wheel. It will lift right off. It's all explained in the service but it's one of those tasks that's better shown than explained.
