    See pics starting at #18 (Remove Chin Fairing) and goes through #24. The steps in those pics are the manual way, but you can skip the axle lossening and tensioner removal by using a swivel and extension to get to the bolts on the rear muffler straps.

    to get to the bolts on the back strap, you can do it with just an extension. Just remove the pulley guard.

    its simple, chin fairing first, then header clamp, then butterfly valve, then three straps.

    no, the reason for that is if you need to remove the primary cover, but its not necessary. The hardest part will be the back two straps, but you can get to them right by the rear pulley wheel when the pulley cover is off. Dont have to touch any oil lines.
