Inserting the windshield into the body.
3.
Line up the windshield mount bars with the frame mount brackets below the body surface. Open up
the slots in the body to get the correct angle if necessary.
4. Press the windshield down onto the body so that the rubber along the bottom seals against the body
and there are no air gaps. The metal windshield will be about
⅛ ” above the body.
5. If there are pre-drilled holes in the bars, they are not used. Use a marker through the laser cut frame-
mounting holes to mark the windscreen mount bars with the position that the holes need to be in.
Make sure that you are pressing down when this is done and the rubber is seated on the body.
6. Remove the windshield and lay it flat on a clean, non- scratching surface.
7. At the points that were just marked, move across to the center of the bar and mark again. The holes
you will drill need to be centered on the bars. Disassemble the windshield sidebars from the
windshield body before drilling.
8. Drill two ½” holes in the each brass windshield support bar and reassemble the sidebars to the
windshield.
9. Slide the windshield base plates (FFR# 10944) over each windshield bar with the holes towards the
outside. Use aluminum polish and clear coat paint on the base plates to make them shine and resist
oxidation.
10. Insert the windshield into the slots and a ¾” socket and ¾” wrench to attach the windshield to the
frame mounts.
