WINDSCREEN INSTALLATION
Figure 3
The bike’s OEM windshield adjustment bracket comes loose with the OEM
windscreen but will need to be reinstalled along with the OEM rubber washers.
The top two rubber washers go on the higher forward-facing sides of the
adjustment brackets. If you have difficulty keeping them in place, a thin film
of common dish soap will adhere them long enough to complete installation.
ATTENTION: Do not use grease, oil, threadlocker or any type of glue on
these washers.
Figure 4
Here it would be helpful to have a third hand to hold the adjustment bracket
in the correct position while the VStream Windscreen is placed over the OEM
mount points.
Make sure the two rubber washers are in place between the adjustment bracket
and the Windscreen.
Figure 5
Take the four OEM screws you removed earlier, with the new Neoprene Washers
(B) you added to them, and thread them through the Windscreen’s mount holes
and into the bike’s windscreen mounting bracket.
Tighten them securely with a 5mm Allen Wrench.
Your new VStream Windscreen is now installed and ready for miles and miles of
enjoyment.
Ride safe and enjoy your new VStream Windscreen!
Cleaning and Maintenance
To clean the screen, wash with a clean soft cloth and plenty of warm water and, if necessary, a non-abrasive soap such as dishwashing liquid. Flannel or soft chamois make good cleaning cloths. For paint, glue residue or grease removal, moisten cotto wad with naphtha or turpentine followed by a wash as above. National Cycle Shield WashTM (N1401-01) makes a good daily cleaner and comes with a handy travel-size bottle. Shield Wash is safe for all windshields and helmet visors.
RAIN REPELLENT
Do not use rain-protective products made for glass. We recommend National
Cycle’s RainZip® (N1410-01) to keep your wind-screen clear in rainy weather.

WARNING
Never ride your motorcycle with loose accessory mounting hardware. Check the
hardware for tightness regularly.
Today’s motorcycles are built with enough frame rigidity to withstand the
moderate loads imposed on them by the foreseeable addition of an accessory
(ies). If an accessory(ies) adversely affects your motorcycle’s stability,
immediately remove the accessory(ies). Do not ride a motorcycle that exhibits
unsafe handling traits.
Have experienced service personnel correct any problem before riding with the
accessory(ies) installed? For further questions concerning handling problems
associated with an accessory(ies), contact your dealer, motorcycle
manufacturer, or accessory manufacturer.
Sunlight reflected off the inside curvature of the windscreen can, at certain
times of day, cause extreme heat buildup on the motorcycle’s instruments and
possibly even melt them. Exercise care in parking to avoid this. Park your
motorcycle facing the sun or place an opaque object over this area.
