Looks like I'm a little late. Good job on getting it out. I used a pipe wrench, which did the trick.

When I went to my local hardware store they didn't have any reverse thread bolts, but they didn't seem to think it would be an issue to get one in. So, if none of the stores have them in stock, maybe ask them if there is any way you can "special order" them.

Otherwise, contact whomever you purchased the windscreen from and see if they might be able to help out.

Had my short windscreen installed at Scooter Centrale in Ct yesterday--I was able to warn the installer about the "too long" reverse thread bolt in advance (his first install) and he hacksawed it down to the proper length. I'm lovin' it, and it looks perfect.

Somehow I got two bolts with reverse threads and no regular bolt. Guess I was lucky as wrong hardware goes.
