Your answer is easy to say, but far tougher than it may seem. Begin by removing the outer fairing. There are 3 bolts at the windshield, 2 at the triple tree and at least one more on each side, depending on your year, accessed from the rider's side. Remove the windshield. Pad the rear side of your spots with a towel and work the outer fairing up past them. I am not sure why, but I have always found this easier standing at the front wheel, lifting the left side first and then twisting and rotating forward to clear the spot lights. Once clear of the spots, disconnect the headlight, or remove the headlight bulbs, depending on your model and year.
Now you will see the radio from the back side, tightly packed in and surrounded with every wire and harness on the bike. The radio hangs from brackets on either side. There are two bolts on each side connecting the radio to the brackets. Remove the bolts. This is the part that is not so easy. The clearance is rather tight. There is an access port to the outside of each bracket, but it is very difficult to use. Anyway, after an hour of cursing yourself for wanting to remove the radio to begin with and retrieving the bolts as they fall out and into the mess of wires below, pull the radio towards the front of the bike removing and moving wires and harnesses as needed.
Now, why remove the radio? Well, other than defect or upgrade, it is by far the easiest way to access the handlebar clamp bolts to adjust your bars forward or back.
Good luck and be careful not to over tighten when remounting the fairing.
