After you get all the bolts off, try tapping the front, back, top & bottom with a deadblow mallet to loosen the seal of the gasket then pull it straight out. Might have to tap it with a deadblow malletagain as you're pulling it out. The alternator stator is under there and may be hanging up especially if you crashed on that side.

thanks for your replies but i figured out the problem... I didnt realize the stators magnetic capabilities were so strong and it just takes a little extra force to pull it out. Ill put some pics up when I put on my aftermarket woodcraft cover.

I figured it was the alternator/ stator magnet.(If the bike wasn't dropped/ crashed)
