I did mine while changing the bars so my front end was pretty torn down already.
I believe all you have to do is remove the 2 bolts on the side tins on the fork and 1 bolt on each of the back tins and you will have access to the bottom riser bolts.
Remove these bolts and the bars lift off. Then take a screwdriver to push out the old bushings, put new ones on and reassemble

I changed mine earlier this week. SUPER easy! Turn the bars all the way to the right to do the left, then turn hard left to do the right. I did one side at a time. Swing the bars outta the way enough to pull the rubbers out. I didn't pull the covers off. Careful not to bang a ratchet into the tank!
