1989 had clip-on style and are a bit different.  But for the other years, the handlebars are held on by a clamp in the middle.  Carefully pry off the plastic screw caps (if yours have them) and then use allen sockets to remove.  That's how my 2009 is configured.  Others are very similar.  From there, it's removing things like choke, brakes, etc. which each have their own bolts/clamps.
