    Windscreen replacement

    Some of the paint jobs in an earlier thread looked good ... inspiring. I have a '05 FZ6. How do you take the windscreen off? I tried to search on the forums but came up with little on instaling/replacing windscreen. If I am not mistaken '05 seems like a sanp-in design vs '07 which is a...
