You shouldn't have to remove any panels.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

Here's a short video I did when I replaced my rear shock.

Nothing needs to be removed to do the fronts, just use a jack to take the load off the tire.

There was Video also from m2 shocks posted how to remove the shocks. Now I dont have a F3 but a RT and didn't have to take any panels off to do mine. Went thru the side with a 15 MM socket and extension by the saddlebags and a offset 15mm wrench for the lower end. Jack up the bike a bit and remove the hardware. It was a bit tight on the upper shock bolt for the RT not sure how tight the area is on a F3 .
