You have to take the outer fairing off.Believe your's is the same as mine.7 screws and unplug the headlight and it's off.I've found that when I put it back together it's easier to stick in a couple of the windshield screws finger tight just to hold the outer fairing on then line up the 2 screws at the bottom,they can be a pain to line up.

I used the procedure outlined in the sticky post within the touring models forum when it was time to remove my outer fairing for the first time. These are great instructions!
