Bracket Locking Nuts finger-tight. Wrap Locking Nut with a strip of
paper before final tightening with a 3/4” wrench, to avoid scratches or
scuff marks (See Diagram #6). Tighten Locking Nuts securely.
9. CHECK ALL FASTENERS FOR TIGHTNESS: When the desired
height and rake of your Deflector Screen DX is achieved, check and
tighten (a) the four Hex Cap Screws in the Pivot Mounts, (b) the four
Hex Screws in the Rod Clamps, (c) the two Locking Nuts on the
Telescope Brackets, (d) the two QuickSet Knobs on the Telescope
Brackets, and (e) the two Wing Knobs on the Rake Adjustment Arms.
10. FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS: (See Diagram #7). The rake of your
Deflector Screen DX can now be changed at any time by simply loos-
ening the two Wing Knobs, pivoting the screen on its mounts, and
retightening the Wing Knobs.
To maintain absolute rigidity, the screen should be “preloaded”
against some point of the headlight shell. With both Wing Knobs
loose, lift on the left Upright with your left hand, and use your thumb to
push the screen more vertical at the Rake Adjustment Arm, one notch
at a time. This will force the gasket on the screen’s lower lip into con-
tact with the headlight shell. Tighten the left Wing Knob. Repeat this
procedure on the right side to balance the preload adjustment.
If the degree of rake is too great after preloading, repositioning of the
Uprights in the Telescope Brackets will realign the screen to your
desired angle. Loosen the Telescope Bracket Locking Nuts, move the
Uprights higher or lower, and then re-tighten the Locking Nuts.
SCREEN REMOVAL
To remove the screen, spin the QuickSet Knobs to release the
T
elescope Brackets and lift the windscreen assembly free from the
motorcycle. No tools are required! The Pivot Mounts stay secured to
your handlebars and in alignment for fast, tool-free reinstallation.
NOTE: The double Ball End Rake Adjustment Arms are not to be used
as a removal point, and should not be disassembled repeatedly. If you
need to remove the Uprights from the screen, detach at the Wing
Knobs.
CLEANING
Pre-rinse your screen with water to remove surface grit. Use mild, non-
abrasive liquid soap, warm water, and a clean, soft cloth/sponge or wet
chamois to wash the screen. Rinse again, as all residue must be
removed. Wipe dry with a chamois or soft sponge to prevent water
spots.
PAINT, GLUE OR GREASE REMOVAL
Moisten a ball of cotton or soft cloth with naphtha or turpentine and gen-
tly scrub to remove paint, glue or grease. Follow with a soap and water
wash as described above.
HAIRLINE SCRATCHES AND ABRASIONS
Small scratches can be removed or minimized with a mild automotive
glazing compound or a high quality plastic polisher. NOTE: Test on a
small sample area first. Recommended polishing products include
Novus 2 Fine Scratch Remover, McGuiar’s Mirror Glaze MGH-17, and
The Wax Shop’s Safe Cut Swirl & Haze Remover. Flannel or chamois
make good polishing cloths. We recommend hand buffing for best
results.Keep moving across the scratch while buffing. Try not to concen-
trate on a small area, which can distort the windscreen’s optics.
Today’s motorcycles are built with enough frame rigidity to withstand the
moderate loads placed on them by the foreseeable addition of a windshield.

CAUTION
Never ride your motorcycle with loose windshield mount-
ing hardware. Check the hardware for tightness regularly.
WARNING
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL SOLUTIONS OR GLASS
CLEANERS to clean your screen. DO NOT use rain pro-
tective products on this screen. Alcohol solutions, brake
fluids, and strong solvents will permanently damage the
screen.
NOTE
The double Ball End Rake Adjustment Arms are not to be
used as a removal point, and should not be disassembled
repeatedly. If you need to remove the Uprights from the
screen, detach at the Wing Knobs.

If the addition of an accessory(ies) adversely affects your motorcycle’s
stability, immediately remove the accessory(ies). Do not ride a motor-
cycle that exhibits unsafe handling characteristics. Have experi-
enced service personnel correct any problems before riding with the
accessory(ies) installed. For further questions concerning handling
problems associated with an accessory(ies), contact your dealer, motor-
cycle manufacturer, or accessory manufacturer.
Sunlight reflected off the inside curvature of a windshield can, at certain
times of the day, cause extreme heat buildup on the motorcycle’s instru-
ments and possibly even melt them. Exercise care in parking to avoid
this. Park facing the sun or place an opaque object over this area.
National Cycle windshields and fairings are designed to provide wind
protection and enhanced comfort, but not protection in the event of a
collision with another vehicle, the road, or any other object.
Some of our products use certain features, patented and otherwise, that
may minimize injury in certain accidents, but the possibility of injury
exists if the windscreen is broken.
The acrylic sheet that is used in our Deflector Screen™ is almost 30X
more impact resistant than glass. If it is subject to impact beyond its
resistance, it breaks into comparatively large pieces, and does not nor-
mally shatter into small slivers.
All of our products are made in conformance and exceed the require-
ments of D.O.T. SS205,Z26.1, classifications AS6 and AS7, which cover
all safety glazing for motorcycle applications.
