Windshield. Swapping

[Brentc]

I was reading the post earlier regarding the passenger getting a it more wins than wanted and it got curious about getting a second windshield that I could swap out when my wife and I are doing longer road trips? Is the windshield swapping a simple,enough process were this would be an option that I could routinely go back and forth between windshields or is it a more involved process that I would fast get tired of doing?

Any advice appreciated.......

It,s a very simple job.There is a screw on both chrome covers lower you remove then slide covers up and off.Then 4 torx screws and windshield is off.

:agree: Six, and done! :thumbup:
Although it is very handy to have a 2nd person along, to hold onto the windshields while you run the wrenches. nojoke

Thank you Bob! Great video as usual.

Be real careful removing the outer two pieces because it is very easy to scratch the windshield.

Two person job

Thanks Joe, Bob also made note of that in his video as well. I liked the idea of putting a soft cloth between the chrome and windshield ahead of loosening and removing items as well as for the reinstall. I can just imagine how upset I'd be if I scratched a new windshield. :gaah:

I have 2 shields for exact same reason. Works well for us.:yes:

I have 2 shields and switch them out, but I only do it twice a year. Once in the fall, and once in the spring. I use a stock +4 in the winter months, and a shorter one for when it is warmer.

Same here. I use the BRP RT adjustable vent windshield for most of the year and then switch to a 2010 RT windshield for the winter. The 2010 RT windshield is 27" tall and wider than the standard windshield.
