I've searched for how to information on windshield replacement. I found a youtube video for the non f6b gold wing, is the procedure the same? Fold mirrors back to access the 10mm bolts, remove bolts and tilt front faring forward to gain access to the windshield mounting bolts?
Pretty much, yeah.
We don't have the electrics that the Wing has, so it's simpler once you get the fairing off.
Cheers,

Once you fold the mirrors forward stuff rags into the void below the mirrors before removing the bolts holding the mirrors. If you drop the bolts into that void they tend to disappear forever. Some of us learned that lesson the hard way.
Good luck

Once you take those 2 10mm bolts out just pop the edges out from the rubber grommet on each side and pull forward. The whole front piece will come off easily and your windshield bolts are right there. I think they are 8mm and there are 3 of them. I installed a M*dstad windshield on mine and ran a piece of weatherstrip with a sticky side on the bottom lip of my windshield and then I run my power cable and an accessory power wire for my USB port through there to my side cubby and plug them in.
While you have the nose off you might want to Velcro your ez-pass to it. Keeps it out of sight and works fine.
