What year bike?  On the 08-09 there are two (10mm socket) bolts that hold it to the frame.  You'll need to remove the black upper fairing piece to get at them.  Recommendation would be to get a 3/8ths metric socket set, metric T-handle set, and a metric (3/8ths) allen set to work on a C14.

Its on 10. I looked at it last night and realized that is not a quick fix. But at least I can change air filter while im in there.
