First take off the right rear and left rear tail fairing cowls. There should be about three bolts holding each cowl to the bike. After removeing the bolts the pieces should just fall off. Then a bolt on each side of the seat bracket is bolted to the frame. Should be quick work. If you need any other kind of help just e-mail me directly. If you like ding your own repaires i have the service manual on CD and could mail it to you if wanted to do any other kind of work to it.
