Oh, and once it's off you may find it hard to remove with all the obstacles. i had to remove the do-hickey on the left side of the backbone.(forgot what it is...an emissions box or something i think....you may not have it if it's a non-california model)Then i had to pull the wiring harness over to the left side of the backbone and maybe a few other things that had to be moved out of the way. Once theres enough clearance it comes off to the right side.
And by the way, get a chrome cam cover if you can afford it. I did and it gave the bike a huge cosmetic boost. made the bike look worlds better......really ! It just works incredibly with the black engine as far as looks. best cosmetic mod ever. Pics don't do it justice, but heres one anyway.
