Answer
Hi Ewan.

Go all around the screen and make sure that there are absolutely no bolts that you missed.  Check under the fairing as well as on the outside area of it.

If there are no remaining bolts, then it could just be stuck on from age and pressure.  Very gently try to pry the screen from the fairing.  If it feels like you will break the screen or the fairing, then stop and take it to a shop to remove.

Good luck and ride safe.
