I took my windscreen off to change a fuse and now I can't figure out how to get all the windscreen screws on without taking apart the whole front end. Specifically the 2 lower screws, I can't fit my hand into the space between the lights to get the rubber backing in. Helo me out.

I'm sorry I can't remember exactly from when I took mine off but I know I didn't have to get my hand down in there for any reason to put the plastic bolts back on. Either the rubbers stayed on the fairing or the windscreen cause I just screwed then back in when the screen was in position. This probably won't help a lot and hopefully someone will clarify it a bit more but you should not have to remove anything else to get it back on

Yeah I just went and removed a bolt from mine to check and the rubber piece that accepts the bolt should have stayed attached to the screen when you removed it and therefore you just put the screen in place and screw the plastic bolts in, they will self tighten

I have been bolting my windscreen on wrong, the rubber goes on top of the screen not under it, thanks.
