The video must be short because it takes about a minute and half to change out the windshield.

Now, I can take it off, clean up everything, and install it in a short time. I had a little trouble installing it the first time (hence the long video). Turns out there was a pin missing in the lifting mechanism, made it difficult to install. More pics to follow showing the repair...

found pin

Pin replaced:

function

Now the windscreen operates correctly, and looks good as it aligns properly with the fairing. It is much easier, and faster, to remove and replace (for cleaning, etc.) now that the mounting brackets are rightly aligned.
