You will have to remove the side fairings, the air duct covers, the lower fairing behind the front wheel and take off the whole front fairing. My experience was it was easist to remove the whole front fairing and unplug it from the harness so you can work on the wires for the signals easily. I have hotboddies flush mounts and they look and work great. One difficult thing is putting the front fairing back on. Its nice to have someone help you just to hold it and get it lined up correctly. Hope this helps.
