Just put mine back to stock last week.
Don't know what your riding but on my Tourer I can remove the 2 bottom bolts.
Then barely loosen the 2 top bolts. With one hand on the top of the shield and the other somewhere near the bottom carefully tilt the top of the shield toward the seat. Remember we are only pulling the bottom out 1 inch. The cut-out for the headlight will be very close. Snug up the top bolts so you can stand away and get a look. Be gentle pulling the shield until you know how much tension you have on the top brackets.
Bone, I have a '98 Tourer. Thanks for the tip. I will give it a try.
