It just snaps into place. It's kinda scary the first time you take it off because you feel as if it's going to break, but it doesn't. Use something that won't mar the surface and just pry.

Look for the 4 tabs. Use a butter knife with tape on it to protect the paint to unhook the tabs.

I've never taken it off without removing the outer fairing. Used a flat blade screwdriver and covered the end with elec tape and pushed the tabs out. I guess others have done it from the outside.
