So I was able to remove both side panels without issues because of yours guys suggestions. I appreciate that.
Detailed the engine, etc. My bike looks fantastic now. Plus I can get to the oil filter when I need to do an oil change again.

So now I want a windshield that will replace my stock on. Needs to be 24", has vents and will use the stock mounting that the bike has.

What would you guys recommend for that?

Next up will be seating. It seems to never end. :-)
