P500 ID windshield

[KPM]

Can anyone ID what windshield this is? I cannot for the life of my figure out how to remove it. The top is easy to remove by unclamping the rops clamp but I can’t figure out how to remove the bottom clamps without possibly breaking them. I’m pretty sure this is a Honda windshield but I looked online and YouTube with no instructions or videos on how to remove it.

I bought this used and tried to ask the previous owner but he has ghosted me!

Yes, that is a Honda windshield, clamp is held onto ROPS with Allen head nut/bolt, arms screw off, **careful, lots of washers and spacers to lose 😉

I was able to break it down (unscrew with all of the washers etc) but can’t figure out the screw. Is it supposed to screw out as well? If so it’s probably rusted. Without moving the screw I can’t figure out how to get the windshield totaling off without trying to push the plastic channel around the screw/bolt. I’m fearful that’s going to break if I do that.

The lock lever unscrews, then there's a concaved rubber washer behind it, then a flat washer, then a spacer that goes through the half moon thing, another flat washer on the back side of that and the threaded rod screws into the clamp that has a captured nut. From that point it is the allen screw that screws into a captured nut holding the clamp on.

Yes, Trigger is correct, that is a threaded rod, probably corroded in place, try 2 nuts together to back out with some PB blaster 😉

Yep, with the lower clamp long bolt, I rotate the clamp to help clear the slotted lever. Separating it to pull off the ROPS seems like it would break, but hasn’t. Could have been a better design for sure. I tried to make up a lower clamp with extra OEM quick clamps but gave up, new bolt head protruded against the ROPS.

Love the half shield for the warmer months so have put the full shield on like 5 times and taken it off like 5 times. It's a dozen piece pita but it's solid and functions well. The tilting ability is what made it complicated. Mine doesn't get much of a chance to rot in place and can only imagine what a b**** it would be if things weren't coming apart. Like Mark said, hit it with Blaster.
