Pat, easy enough. It just snaps on so using a hard piece of wood & hammer, place the wood against the bottom of the cover and hammer up on the wood & it'll pop right up. Looks like you are going to install new fork seals (your next post) so after removing the plastic covers on my '04, in '04 (no seal leak on mine w/60k mi yet) I had to cut the back of the plastic cover to remove it & I cut it so it was only about 2' wide and I installed it behind the sheild of my Super Brace.

Why are you removing the fork shields? It is not necessary to remove them to service the forks. I replaced the fork seals and bushings in my '07's forks, and left the fork shields in place. FWIW, the manual says they should be replaced with new ones if they are removed.
