Overview of first steps
The Fork-mount brackets attach to the motorcycle’s top fork clamps. The small
tabs attach to the bottom fork clamps. They are joined together to make one
attachment Fork-mount bracket per side. DO NOT loosen both fork clamp bolts at
the same time. The fork tube could slip out of position.
Step 1: Attach Fork-mount bottom tabs:
- Remove the stock lower fork clamp bolt.
- Attach the Fork-mount bottom tab using the stock bolt. Orient the tab so that it sits vertical, parallel to the fork (see photo).
- Tighten fork clamp securely. Repeat steps on the other side.
Step 2: Attach Fork-mount bracket:
- Rubber bumpers should be stuck onto the back of the two screws. This is to protect the fork tube. Extra adhesive bumpers have been provided if necessary.
- Remove the stock top fork clamp bolt (not used again).
- Position the Fork-mount bracket as shown below. Insert the provided M8 x 40 socket head screws (bolts) through the bracket.
- run spacer up screw BEHIND the bracket – screw into the clamp hole, but not fully tight yet. – see next step
- Tighten the fork clamp securely. As you do this, check the alignment of the bracket with the tab installed in step #1. They should overlap.
- Run the M6x16 screws into the overlapping holes to keep aligned as you go to tighten the top fork bolt.
Step 3: Secure Fork-mount tab. a.
Tighten fork clamp securely. As you do this, check the alignment of the
bracket with the tab installed in step #1. They should overlap. e. Run the
M6x16 screws into the overlapping holes to keep aligned as you go to tighten
the top fork bolt. The M6 flat metal washer is between the screw and the
longer bracket. The M6 locking nut is behind the locking tab.
The quick-release windshield brackets will snap onto the aluminum spools on these brackets, and you will do that first before attaching the shield to the brackets.
Using the Quick-Release System
The adjustable shield brackets have U-shaped slots that slide onto the
aluminum spools. Make sure the spring-loaded keys are set out of the way
(first photo below). Slide the brackets fully down onto the spools, then pry
up the spring-loaded key tab and rotate it over the top of the spools to lock
the brackets in place (second photo below). To release the brackets, simply
pull up on the key tab and rotate the key back up and over out of the way.
Pull the brackets up and out of the spools (you may have to wiggle them a
little as you lift).
Attach Windshield
- Once the adjustable brackets are both attached to the bike, you can set the shield over them. The windshield attaches to the brackets with M5 x 25 Phillips truss screws, M5 plastic washers, and M5 rubber washers as shown in the diagram.
- Set up all four screws in the four windshield holes. c. Bring the shield over the brackets and set the screws into the rubber well nuts. Screw them in until the rubber of the well nut swells and makes a secure connection. Do this for all four screws until the windshield is secured to the brackets.
Tighten only until the well nuts begin to swell up and the shield is snug against the brackets. Over-tightening can damage the rubber well nuts. Once the windshield is attached to the Adjustable fork-mount brackets the system is now capable of being removed and reattached using the quick-release feature. That functionality is covered a little later in this guide.
Optional Lower Deflectors kit
There will be another set of aluminum spools at the bottom of the windshield
brackets. This is where the lower clip-on, the same way that the windshield
clips onto the fork brackets. See the next page for details.
Lower Deflectors: (optional equipment, available separately) The lower
deflectors attach to their brackets with the M6 button screws, flat washers,
and lock nuts. There is an oval hole in each deflector which gets set over the
spring post on each bracket. Attaching the lowers to the bike is simply a
matter of sliding the U-shaped slots onto the aluminum spools, and then
rotating the small key down in between the two spools. (See photo below.) Make
sure the key is set down to lock them in.
Adjusting the Windshield Brackets
The knob screws release the brackets allowing the windshield to slide and
tilt. These knob screws must always be tightened securely before riding. The
basic starting position of the windshield should be to angle it about the same
angle as your forks (maybe back slightly more), and set the top edge of the
shield to be at about your chin level as you look straight ahead. Tighten the
knobs and go for a ride to see if the air flows smoothly over your helmet. Do
this on a calm day if at all possible; windy days make it hard to judge the
airflow. Don’t ever try to adjust the mount while in motion! To try a
different windshield position, bring the motorcycle to a complete stop and out
of traffic. Loosen the two knob screws and tilt the windshield forward or back
2-3 degrees or so, and/or adjust it up or down if necessary. Re-tighten the
knobs and go for another ride.
