Swapped the Givi for the stock today. Sorry no pictures, but do have notes to share.
First, it is pretty simple. Just take off the front, center panel. Once off, there are three screws on each side of the windscreen to unscrew and the stock is off. The Givi lines up beautifully with the screw holes. Replace the screws and put the front panel on and you are done.
But sometimes things aren't as easy as they should be. My front, center panel did not come out as set forth in the owner's manual. The manual shows two screws attaching the center panel to the black, plastic cover below the front of the windscreen. Once the screws are out, the manual shows that you slide the panel forward and then up to take out.
The screws were in place on my bike, but behind the center panel: not holding the center panel to the other black, plastic panel. I was able to unscrew the srews a bit by going through the screw holes in the center panel. Fortunately, before damaging any of this plastic, I realized that those screws should have been on the other side of the center panel. Thus, given they were behind the panel, I didn't have to remove them.
Next, my panel did not slide down and then up and out from three slots on either side of the panel. Rather, at the top of each side of the center panel and then again about half way down each side, there are pressure or friction type posts that come straight out with a little pressure. The top point is a tab-like and the center point is more post-like.
I think I'm lucky I figured these workings out. If I had blindly followed the manual, I'm sure at a minimum that center panel would have been damaged.
Finally, in replacing the center panel, I put the screws on the outside where, according to the manual, they should have been in the first place. But a note of caution. The screw attaches to a metal sleeve that slides over a hole int the black, plastic dash panel under the windscreen. It could be very easy to loose that sleeve. Be careful when you first remove the screw. Then before putting the center panel back on, remove the sleeve and squeeze it between your fingers. When you re-attach the sleeve, it will fit snuggly and you'll be able to line up the holes in the center panel with the sleeve holes.
Well, if a windscreen replacement is in your future, I hope these notes help.
