I agree, you need to have the gas tank in place to take the weight of the windshield while you install it. Cover the gas tank with something thick to protect it (I have an old el-cheapo sleeping bag I use for things like this, but be careful of the zipper!) then use some wood blocks to hold the weight of the windshield while you line up and screw in the hinge.

Installing the windshield is definitely a two- or three-person job. Gas tank you can get by with two.

Thank you. That looked to me to be the reasonable path to take but you folks have the experience.
