I love the Internet most when it takes me to things that I wasn’t looking for.
Today I was searching for instructions on disassembling the nose of my motorcycle so that I could try fixing my stuck windshield. What I found was a forum post discussing a large gasket inside the nose that sometimes gets loose and binds up the arms holding the windshield. A quick look at the arms on mine showed that was my likely problem, and after attacking the gasket for a few minutes with a screwdriver and box cutters my windshield was raising and lowering properly again.
Coolness.
