if it is the entire front cowl your talking about those aluminum clips are basically nuts... It looks like the Speedo assembly may be attached as well... Have a good long look at it if you do it without the manual. Pull gently to see where the attachments are and then figure out how its attached. Go slow and thoughtfully its basically a giant plastic puzzle

Also at least on mine, some parts come off with violent plastic breaking noises that's part of the "fun"
