easiest is from the top, lift tank, remove air box and there they are! does require more work though
hardest is from the bottom...a bit less work but hard to get to the plugs if you have mang hands.

I personally think it is more work to remove the fuel tank and air filters. The honda manual's procedure calls for moving the radiator to the side. If you have a good set of tools/rachets and sviwels joints, it is a piece of cake. I did mine in like 30 minutes the first time I changed them. I am not saying one way is better or worse, just different. See what you feel more comfortable with.

yea but as far as getting a straight shot at them with correct torque setting, easiest from the top.
what do i do? from the side of course...but cause i'm hardcore like that...but since i'm going in there to replace the cctl this time i'm doing it from the top!
