Guys I searched but cannot find details on the nose removal. Both side fairings off, air duct covers off and front splash panel is off.

I have unclipped cable from left and removed two bolts. The nose is loose and seems to want to come out, but there seems to be something holding it in the center.

Does the whole headlight come out with fairing?

Tried to capture an image

There is a post molding into the fairing that rests in a rubber grommet which is mounted in the headlight. Very gently pry it away from the headlight by gripping close to the center, where about the post is.
 
Finally got it out by prying with screw driver and cloth

Putting it back was hard so i put a bit of oil on the rubber grommet and worked out

I actually trimmed that knob on mine to make it easy to remove/reinstall. The rubber grommet still grips it fine and the fairing is not moving at all despite that knobhead being trimmed.
 
Got to lift up a little on the nose (dont need a screwdriver) then towards you horizontally.
