Maintenance:

To clean the windshield, wash it with a clean soft cloth, plenty of warm water, and a non-abrasive soap such as dishwashing liquid.

National Cycle Windshield Wash (Part number N1401) is recommended for everyday cleaning. It comes with a handy travel-size container and rag for easy storage on the motorcycle. For more information, visit www.nationalcycle.com or ask your local dealer.

Warning:

Always check the hardware for tightness regularly to ensure that the accessory mounting hardware is secure. If the accessory adversely affects your motorcycle’s stability, immediately remove it and do not ride a motorcycle that exhibits unsafe handling traits.

National Cycle hereby warrants to the original registered owner of a National Cycle polycarbonate windshield for a period of three years from the date of purchase against breakage. This limited warranty is expressly limited to the replacement of the polycarbonate windscreen. This limited warranty does not include scratches, coating failure, cosmetic wear and tear, replacement of hardware, or any consequential damages or expenses including labor cost of installation, removal and/or replacement, inconvenience, inbound freight expenses or damage to any other component of the motorcycle or any other accessories.

Certain chemicals, generally known as acidic hydrocarbons, are known to cause polycarbonate damage and will not be covered under this limited warranty. Please refer to the cleaning instructions supplied with all National Cycle windshields.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning: Wash with a clean soft cloth, plenty of warm water, and, if necessary, a non-abrasive soap such as dish-washing liquid. Flannel or soft chamois make good cleaning clothes. Do not use rain-protective products on the screen due to the solvent action of the alcohol in these products. Do not allow brake fluid, alcohol, or strong solvents to contact the screen. National Cycle Windshield Wash Part number N1401 is recommended for everyday cleaning. The product is supplied with a handy travel-size container and rag for easy storage on the motorcycle.

• Ask your local dealer or visit: www.nationalcycle.com.

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.
