Any tips on removing a windscreen?

I don't want to break the bolts. But trying to remove the windscreen has been a real pregnant dog. Someone mentioned lifting the gauges.  I don't see the connection. BTW it's a '98 M900.
Thanks.

I know with mine I had to remove the Gauges to get to the Left bolt. Once I removed both bolts the screen came right off.

Not sure how you would break the bolts.  Just make sure your wrench (s) don't slip.

I was able to get mine out without shifting the Speedo/Tach, but I couldn't replace them without doing so.

are you using loosey keys or the ones that are swiss army knifed into a metal handle with soething like 16 keys? i can remove mine in less than 30 seconds.

+1 it's pretty easy to take em off,no need to rearrange anything.

I just took mine off a few hours ago. Same pain in rear. I ended up taking the headlight off and going in from the bottom.

Yes, big pain in the ass taking it off.  But it can be done without removing the gauge. It's a tight fit on both sides. The right was a little easier. I used an open ended wrench. You have to be creative and try all angles to get at the bolt, I even ended up turning one bolt with the open end wrench right on top (twisting the wrench like a screw driver).
