how to remove the chrome side covers from tank

[jimpapa]

getting stuff ready for painting, how do you remove the chrome side covers from the gas tank?

Theres a screw under the emblem that you need to remove. After you get that off, you slide the chrome panel towards the seat because there's a slide (clip) that holds it onto the tank.

Remove the Honda emblem to get to the bolt that holds the side cover on. Look here for the schematic:
