Steps to Remove the Windshield and Mouting Bracket

So, I finally removed my shield... I'll admit I am a sheildless virgin and and liking it. I just started a new job in Pasadena (right next to Rose Bowl). That is 76 miles one way to work (152 miles round trip) and wow what a difference.
The first thing I noticed was the feeling of freedom... then I hit 65+ and then noticed the full blast hitting my chest. At 80 I was being pushed back. Now since I am in California traffic a good portion this is not too bad. I have to admit, it makes seeing unobstructed a lot better while cutting the carpool lanes for most of the ride.
My suggested to those thinking about it, leave the supporting bracket on so you can put the thing back on with 4 bolts if you do not like it. For me, I am liking the free feeling and oh the head buffeting is gone... but it is an entirely different feeling with the wind smacking you in the face at 80 I gotta say.
Thrifty and I are proud of you :D your stomach and neck muscles will benefit from such an extraction.
