1. OPEN ALL HARDWARE BAGS:
Check contents against
Parts List
and
Diagrams #1
and
#2
below.
2. RAKE ADJUST ASSEMBLY:
From Uprights and Bag #57, sort parts
into left and right
Rake Adjustment Arm
assemblies (see
Diagram #1
).
When left and right Rake Adjust hardware is properly assembled, the
Wing Knobs
will face to the
inside
of the Rake Adjust hardware. This
will allow convenient access to the Rake Adjust feature when installed
on the motorcycle.
To assemble, insert the short ends of the
Uprights
into the pivot ends
of the
Rod Clamps
. Start the hex screws, but do not tighten. Attach
the
Ball End Rake Adjustment Arms
(left and right) to the Rod
Clamps at the pivot points, using the Wing Knobs. See
Diagram #1
for
correct alignment. Tighten Wing Knobs securely.
3. INSTALL HARDWARE ONTO SCREEN:
(The following steps must
be performed in an air temperature of at least 60-65ºF.) Place the
screen front down on a scratch-free, well-supported surface (a blanket
or towel on a tabletop or floor). Moisten the
Ball Ends
of the
Rake
Adjustment Arms
with water or saliva only - no oils or lubricants.
Firmly press the Ball Ends of the Rake Adjustment Arms into the
screen’s
Ball Sockets
until fully seated (see
Diagram #3
). It may be
necessary to slightly warm the Ball Sockets with a hair dryer to ease
assembly. Once assembled, the serrated pivots should be toward the
top of the screen, and both Wing Knobs facing toward the center of
the screen.
4. QUICKSET PIVOT MOUNT ASSEMBLY:
(Installation and initial
alignment will be easier with the motorcycle on its centerstand.) Pick
appropriate spot on the vertical rise of the handlebars and attach
Pivot Mounts
to the
Pivot Straps
with 1/4-20 hex cap screws until
snug, but not tight. Use hex key wrench supplied in hardware kit. Be
sure both sides are symmetrical (see
Diagram #4
).
5. INSTALLING TELESCOPE BRACKETS:
Slide both
Telescope
Brackets
onto the Uprights of the Rake Adjust/screen assembly,
WITHOUT the
Locking Nuts
to avoid scuffing the Uprights.
6. SCREEN INSTALLATION AND BRACKET ALIGNMENT:
Set the
Rake Adjust/screen assembly over the headlight and loosely attach
the Telescope Brackets to the QuickSet Pivot Mounts with
QuickSet
Knobs
(See
Diagram #5
).
For the most rigid installation:
(A)
Set the screen on or close to the headlight at the desired rake
angle.
(B)
Minimize the Upright extension from the Telescope
Brackets. Slide the handlebar Pivot Mount assemblies further up the
bar to reduce extension.
(C)
Adjust the Upright/Telescope Bracket
combination at about 45º angle or greater with respect to the ground.
More vertical angles are slightly less rigid. Mark the Uprights with
masking tape to note their extension.
(D)
To maintain maximum rigidity,
the screen should be “preloaded”. Refer to
Step 9. FINAL ADJUST-
MENT
.
7. LOCKING NUTS AND DOUBLE STICK TAPE:
Now remove the
Rake Adjust/screen assembly, and then the Telescope Brackets. You
can now loosely screw the
Locking Nuts
onto the Telescope Brackets.
Mark the placement and rotational position of the Pivot Mounts on the
handlebars, then loosen the Pivot Mounts and slide them out of the
way. Place two strips of
Double Stick Tape
at the location on the han-
dlebars where the Pivot Mounts were placed. Carefully move the Pivot
Mounts back to their original position, over the Double Stick Tape, and
tighten the Hex Cap Screws.
8. COMPLETING ASSEMBLY:
Slide the Telescope Brackets back
ATTENTION
Any oils, silicones, greases or lubricants will adversely
affect the impact release feature.
onto the Uprights of the Rake Adjust/screen assembly. Do not tighten
the Telescope Bracket Locking Nuts yet. Install the Deflector
Screen/Rake Adjust/Telescope Bracket combination onto the motorcy-
cle, aligning the Telescope Brackets with the Pivot Mounts on the han-
dlebars. Install the
QuickSet Knobs
through the
Telescope Brackets
into the
Pivot Mounts
and tighten securely.
Now slide the
Uprights
further down into the Telescope Brackets to
the position you marked in
Step 6.C.
above. Tighten the Telescope

IMPORTANT
Make sure both balls of the
Adjustment Arm are fully seated
in the ball sockets on the shield.
The bottom perimeter edge of the
Adjustment Arm should be fully
inserted and evenly flush.
Wrap Locking Nut with a strip of paper to
avoid scratching surface finish.
Firmly hold Telescope
Bracket and Pivot
Mount/Pivot Strap assembly
in place while tightening
Locking Nut.
Place Pivot Mount/Pivot Strap
assembly as close to upper bend
of the handlebars as possible.
For now, leave Upright with as
short an extension as possible.
Snug, but not tight
(until Step 9).
No Locking Nut at this
step in the assembly.

IMPORTANT
Double Stick Tape placed under Pivot Mount/Pivot Strap assembly.
NOTE
The Double Stick Tape is necessary to avoid rotational
slippage on certain models.
The most rigid installations have
the Telescope Brackets at a 45°
angle to the road.
