Bummer. I have seen many threads here on removing the outer shell. Do a search and it will come up.

Sorry bout the fall.

Remove the screws than hold the windshield. Remove the windshield.
The rest of the screws holding the outer fairing on are around the inner fairing, and just in front of the tank.
