This is a pretty boring topic and it's time to add some color. As an intermission topic here is the quickest way I take off my rear cowl from the fairly large rear passenger subframe. I just remove the tail light (4 screws) and let it hang. Then I remove the four bolts underneath the cowl and the seat of course. I prefer to remove the seat lock side since it's easier to pull it out and away from the lock than it is the big ol' regulator which is on the right.



My rear bodywork easily flexes and pulls out over the seat lock. Then I lift that up while keeping an eye on the right side for anything that might snag.



Then the rear cowl simply pulls further over from left to right and you just have to keep an eye on anything that might scratch. The first couple times removing this it took me a little while to scratch my head and do it. Now it takes a few seconds.
