There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

While I love inch pounds I go commando on screen mount bolts. ... Nipped up and a 1/4 turn works got me.

I wouldn't use a Rachet on those type of bolts ..... On my GS & RSS after switching to larger windshields .... I epoxied 1in. X 1ln. pieces of sheet metal over the Holes to support the bolt heads .... never had an issue ... Mike :thumbup:

While I have never looked at a 2008 GS windshield, based on your picture and the parts manual, I would use a 1/4" drive Torx bit and ratchet BUT would hold the ratchet right at its head tighten the bolts with just a couple of fingers on the ratchet. I would check the bolts after every ride for about a half dozen jaunts.

For the top 2 holes use the plastic screws with no washers and 4 pound inches.
For the bottom 2 holes use the metal screws with metallic washers + the rubber washers. 22 pound inches.
Tighten the screws in the order 1, 2, 3, 4.
1 = bottom left (looking at it from front of windshield
2 = top right
3 = bottom right
4 = top left.
Above is from the BRP instructions that came with their large windshield for my 08GS.

The BRP instructions for my large BRP touring screen have worked perfectly for 10 yrs and 50,000km
