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.
Additional tools required that are not included in this kit.
12mm, 8mm Wrench, or 1/4 socket and ratchet.
1.Cover gas tank and front fender with towels 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 grom-
met lies flat on each side of the plastic. Tabs point out to-
wards the edge of the windshield. (see fig. 1)
3.On the throttle side, locate and loosen, almost to the point of
removal, the two 8mm hex head bolts on top of the lower tri-
ple tree that secures the chrome fork cover. Locate the cable
holder mounted under the upper triple tree. (See Fig. 2) Using
a 12mm wrench, remove the cable holder bolt but hold the
cable holder in place while slipping the lower mounting
bracket slots onto the 8mm Hex Head Bolts. Slip the upper
mounting bracket on to the cable holder so that the cable
holder is between the upper mounting bracket and the upper
triple tree, make sure that the cable holder's locator tab is in-
serted in the locator hole. and loosely tighten, tighten this bolt
after the windshield is in place. (See Fig. 2)
4. Push the lower bracket all the way towards the chrome fork
covers and loosely tighten the two lower bolts. Tighten these
bolts after the windshield is in place (See Fig. 2)
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.
