nothing more man,, just unscrew it, pop those rubber pieces out of the holes on the old windscreen, put them in the new one a screw it on,, don't over torque it putting the new one on,, you'll crack or break the windscreen, just put them on snug!

It's probably the easiest mod to make.

I put a ZG on my RR, fit was perfect.

I put a Memphis Shades on my F4i, fit wasn't so perfect. Had read about people neeeding to enlarge the mounting hole and what not. That wasn't the case for my screen. I noticed between the middle and upper mounting holes that the edge of the wind screen was touching the fairing support, not allowing the screen to settle out as wide as it needed. Sure I could have slotted the holes to fix it, instead I sanded down the edge where is was touching the fairing support on both sides and that allowed for a perfect fit.

Only mentioned that to make you aware of what could be a possible problem. I bought the Memphis shade knowing people said they had some fitement issues, and I realized most of them took the easy and IMO not the correct way to correct the problem. I've also heard really positive things about the ZG shades, mine included.
