IMPORTANT CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Memphis Shades Windshields and Lowers are made of
Lucite® acrylic, and will last for years with proper care.
Clean your windshield with plenty of soapy water — mild
dishwashing liquid is best — and a soft cotton cloth. Use your
bare hand to feel and dislodge bugs, or cover with a wet soapy
towel and let it soak. Don't use paper towels and don't scrape
with anything. Small scratches can be removed with NOVUS
# 2.
NEVER use any glass cleaning products, petroleum based
chemicals, or cleaning agents with ammonia, bleach or any
other harsh chemicals. This includes (but not limited to)
RainX, brake fluid, acetone, paint thinner, benzene and
gasoline. "If it hurts your nose, it will hurt the plastic."
Glass cleansing agents will cause severe damage
to your windshield, and will void your warranty.
NOTE:
At certain times of the day the Sunlight can reflect
off the curvature of a windshield and cause extreme heat
build-up on motorcycle instruments and instrument panel.
Take care when parking. Park facing the sun, place an opaque
object over the instruments or position the bike to avoid re-
flections.
No additional tools required, that are not included in this kit:
1. Cover gas tank and front fender with towels to avoid
damage during installation.
2.
Attach the lowers plastic to the lowers mounting plates
using the pre-assembled bolts. The Santoprene grommets
should be inserted through the holes in the lowers plastic so
that the flat round part of the grommet lies flat on each side of
the lowers plastic. (see Figure 1)
Lowers plates can be mounted on the plastic in the up or
down position to best suit your needs and application.
(see
figure 4)

Loosely install the fork clamps on each fork. Remove the
anchor bolts from the fork clamps and attach the lowers to the
fork clamps. (see figure 2)

NOTE: Improperly installed fork clamps will cause damage
to your motorcycle. Before final installation make sure the
Lowers and clamps will clear all fenders, radiators, oil cool-
ers, turn signals, Gas tank and any other accessories when
installed. Turn forks full left and right also apply front brake
and rock the bike forward to check for proper clearance with
no interference.
