I have a xb9s with an R tail section. I tried to take off the plastic covering the tail section, but it wouldn't come off. I know I must have either missed a bolt or something silly. Just wondering if anyone can post a HOW TO write up or video. Or both.

did you get the two screws on the underside of the tail? one on either side near the rear peg mounts.
then, just make sure the seat is off and there are I think 3 other screws that hold it on, one under the passenger seat, and two more on either side of the subframe on the top.

I sometimes stick a screwdriver between the subframe and the plastics and use it for leverage, but once you take the screws off you should be able to tell if it is loose. it wont just come off by any means, you have to kind of pull the edge from around the subframe. It is hard to explain, but it isnt too hard so I'll try...
you have to grab the tail plastics down by where it meets the frame just under the air box. With one hand on each side pull the plstics outward. As you're doing this, slide the plastics toward the rear of the bike and once you get to a certin spot it will come free. OR you can do this with one hand on one side. Just slowly move your one hand toward the rear while you pull to the side. as the tension gets tighter you will be able to pull up and get the lip of the tail plastics over the undertail plastics/ subframe.

Ok......I use the craftsmen torks driver.
If you removing the bottom plastic you will need to remove the passenger pegs if not then, here is what you need to remove.
If you are removing the bottom
If you are using the torx's from the Buell tool kit, you will want to remove the two bolts on the bottom of the seat frame and fold it forward to give you better access to the screws next to the rear shock.
