Is it just me or is it a real witch to install this? I thought it wouldn't be too hard, basically, unscrew the two screws, one on each side. Take out the stock windshield, put in the new one, and put in the bolts, right? Well, how do you get that big fat well nut into the windshield, and put the windshield with the well nut on to the front of the bike? Every time I do it, the well nut is too big and it falls out and falls into my bike and on to the ground. Now I'm missing one well nut and I had to order a set from Zero Gravity. Any body have any tips? haha. I know this is supposed to be an easy install, help me out!

Put the windshield on first the well nuts go through the fairing first then through the shield.

I guess you just use WD-40 or soapy dish water and squeeze the hell into it?

Use water soluble lube (Like KY)
It is slippery and will wash away and won't harm the rubber.

Here's the trick to installing used wellnuts. Put the screw into the boot, but do not thread it into the nut that's in the boot. Put the boot into the hole. Then press on ONLY THE TOP OF THE SCREW. Pressing on the top of the screw will re-extend the boot and the whole thing will just pop back in. Then tighted the screw. Easy peasy.
