I took mine off to install the Corbin bags. Its  been a while,
but I used Corbin's instructions and the manual. With instructions
it is not hard. There's some pushpins.

There are installation instructions for the saddlebags on Corbin web site. Click on saddlebags, click on notes, click on instructions.

Really easy to do the instructions will help but it wont help with the 2 push pins on the inside of the rear of the fender. Just when you think you have them all and try to take if off there is still something holding it. Well the 2 push pins on the inside are the issue. Actually I think they are there just so Honda engineers can laugh.

I think that is one thing I about this bike the fenders and all covers including the tank come prepainted from the factor. They are not really expensive either. So if something happens just order the fender and your back in business.

Kidd, I've seen fenders on fleebay for $85, then all you need is to get your tank painted, is this what you're doing to obtain a red/maroon/wine berry?

1. take off the seat
2. take off the side covers
3. take off the grab bars
4. take off the push pins that are under the side covers. one on each side
5. take off the two push pins behind the module under the seat
6. take off the two push pins inside the fender at the back.  They stick out on each side
7. pull the fender off.

I want you re-do instruction manuals world wide.

New fenders , $500   , 2 new radiator  plastics , another $250  , add uncle  Sam
I'd imagine , $825

$600 to $700  to paint  tank

Could be around $1500 

Cheaper to paint everything
There's also 2 scoops facing front  with a little screen in them that could be painted as well .
That was the idea of  Robbie , the owner  at ABC Auto body

Yes, but you can sell your old plastics and get some of your money back to reduce the true out-of-pocket costs.

Good idea

also , I found a black  'Kerry with self cancelling turn signals and ABS , but who cars about ABS ,  for sale , may buy the black one and paint it , sell mine

You might be able to have all the parts painted for less than $1500, you have to take them off anyway. too dam hot out there to ride anyway...
