The instructions that I got came from the dealer parts guy. He had to print them up for me because none came with all the parts I ordered with the bike.
The instructions have you remove almost every piece of plastic to get to the two bolts that hold the saddle bag stays on. I was not amused after spending a couple of hours to get to that point and realize I just needed to remove two covers and loosen a couple of bolts to gain access rather than a clomplete fairing removal.
Also note if you have a "D" it will have rear hand grips. The inner support that the accessory parts list requires for the saddle bags is already there and you don't need to buy them. If you don't have rear hand grips you need to buy the inner supports.
This job was also a pretty easy one once I found the shortcuts I'm describing here.
First take off the seat. Use the key to release the latch. Grab the tail of the seat and lift up while pulling it rearward.
Next remove the rear hand grips. Pry the little bolt caps out and use a hex key or hex socket.
