The plastic 'W' is held on by two very small hex head screws -

You have to kneel in front of the bike, (genuflect if you want to ) look up under the bottom edge of the 'W', and you'll see them.

Once you've removed those, you can easily remove the "W" which will expose the 7 plastic screws that hold on the screen.

Luckily for me, there were previous threads on this. Once you know about the hex bolts, changing the windshield is a piece of cake. Took me all of 5 minutes.

Thanks so much - your tip helps me too - this forum is great.

I took the front cowling off today, going to get some custom paint.

I was kicking myself in the butt for not removing the windshield when it was in the raised position before I disconnected the battery.

I couldn't figure out how to get at them - I have the shop manual - but I thought they were screws.

Now I know all I have to do is prostrate myself in front of the B!$%#.

LOL - stupid me - Thanks again
