MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
MEM8932 11-03-08
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 adjust the windshield to avoid reflections.
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."
Read and follow these directions carefully.
During installation, make sure that the windshield and hard-
ware do not interfere with any cables or wiring when the forks
are turned all the way in either direction. Also make sure,
through the full range of adjustment, that the windshield and
hardware do not hit the tank.
This is a detachable windshield, ALWAYS make sure the
Locking Mechanism is Fully Engaged after installing the
windshield!
The improper installation of this kit and related compo-
nents could result in serious injury or death.
No additional tools required for this kit.
1.
Cover gas tank and front fender with a towel to avoid damage
during installation.
2. Install the windshield mounting plates onto the windshield, using the
bolts that are pre-assembled on the mounting plates.
The Santoprene grommets should be inserted through the holes in the
windshield so that the flat round part of the grommet lies flat on each
side of the plastic.
Tabs point in towards the headlight.
(see figure 1 )
3.There is an upper clamp and a lower clamp for each fork,( fig.2-A).
The lower clamp has protective film on the inside and does not have
the slotted bushing adjustment. The upper clamp has a flexible tapered
Santoprene insert and does have the slotted bushing adjustment.
4. On the clutch side, install the lower clamp around the fork tin with
the clamp in the largest setting as shown in figure 2-A. With the
grooves in the polymer bushing facing directly forward, slide the
clamp down until it rests on the lower triple tree and snug it in place.
Next, separate the tapered insert from the upper clamp and flex the
insert around the upper part of the fork tin with the raised “stopper”
portion up. Rotate the insert rearward until the raised “stopper” portion
is underneath the upper triple tree, with the trailing edge of the
“stopper” portion even with the edge of the upper triple tree.
Around the fork tin, slide the two parts of the upper clamp together
in the smallest setting, and slip the clamp over the Santoprene insert,
and align it with the lower clamp as shown in figure 2-B.(The cable
guide may need to be bent slightly.)
Repeat Step 4. on the throttle side.
5. Slip the windshield mounting plates and windshield onto the fork
clamps, (see figure 3 and 5) and secure the left and right side locking
mechanism.
Note: This is a detachable windshield, ALWAYS make sure the
Locking Mechanism is Fully Engaged after installing the
windshield! (See Fig 5)
