I have send the following email to rapidjim 's privat email address (see below). The message deals with access to the windshield of my DF150TKA. I am posting it here for reasons of general interest, and also if rapidjim is not familiar with the 150TKA, perhaps any other reader can help.

Hi rapidjim ..... in a post Trike Special Threads « Thread Started on Jan 10, 2011, 5:22pm » there is a reference to Coolant Changing and this scootdawg address: scootdawg.proboards.com/index.cgi....ad=34402&page=1 . I clicked on it and found your post "Manual Sample - Removal of Nose Piece" (see below). My question is, can you provide such a complete instruction for my new DF150TKA? I want to exchange the OME windshield and I am unable to find any instructions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Removal of Nose Piece
To gain access to the radiator and fill bottle the nose piece must be removed. Remove the plastic screws holding the windshield in place. Place the windshield out of the way on a clean soft towel so that it does not become scratched or broken.
To remove the “V” shaped nose piece, remove the two screws underneath where the seams are.
(here appears a picture)
Move the front wheel to either the extreme left or right. Looking up from underneath (above the front fender. Locate the plastic nipple molded to the nose piece and pushed through a rubber grommet.
(here appears a picture)
Using a large flat bladed screwdriver, place it between the plastic nipple and the rubber grommet and carefully move the screwdriver back and forth to move the nipple out of the grommet. (edit 11/18/2011) Be very very very very gentle as not to break the plastic. Once this is freed, the “V” nose piece can be removed by sliding it down to release the upper plastic clips and lifted off the front end.
etc. etc. etc.
