    I have a new screen to fit, do you have to remove the front nose, or just remove the mirrors??

    Just the mirrors. Nose cone can stay on.

    Please don't over-tighten your mirrors otherwise you'll crack that cowl and it'll be bye bye £200!

    Be careful how you pull it out, the little tabs can break off easy! If your careful it an easy job!
