So I put on the Rifle this weekend. The angle optimizers lined up perfectly. I got to the windshield itself. I started installing the 6 nylon screws. Things didn't seem to be quite lining up. I've put on the stock and yamaha touring and swapped them many times--they line up perfectly. I finally got all 6 nylon screws into the threads on the new Rifle's w/help of a second set of hands while I had to bend the screen a bit. The threads did then line up and I was able to tighten them. I do fear however that they won't be re-usable after I pull them out again, and I don't love the idea of a bunch of tension where it's now mounted.
I think I'll give them a call and ask if they've had this issue before w/other FJR customers. Anyone else experience this?
A really short ride on the bike seemed to confirm that the shield is fantastic. I noticed smooth air with no buffeting and no back-pressure. I can't wait to get it out on the road for a real ride.
