You pretty much got it, you can do it without removing the shield though. Raise the shield all the way up and use a small Allen wrench to press the lil buttons in on the rivets and you can pull them right out.

You don't have to remove the instrument trim panel either.

on my '08 you'd start with the glove box, then the left side black panel (after you took the push button rivet out on that side) then you can get to the top left fairing and you're on your way.

Yeah, what Conrad said. And if you have to get to the radiator cap, you have to pull the right fairing off as well.

Draining and refilling the system requires both left and right side fairings be removed as well as the lowers. Good thing it does not need to be done very often.
