New Cee Bailey Windshield

[Kyriverbanks]

Just installed a new Cee Bailey +4+2 reverse contour. A remarkable improvement. No buffeting, much quieter. Question? Does the additional height pose any issue on the reliability of the windshield hardware and controls? Sorry if this has been posted previously. I am new to FJR and the board.

I put the same size Cee Bailey on an '07 about a year ago and worried about the same thing. No problems so far.

Got the same on my 07 and 50,000 miles pluse on it and no issue's.

Once running hard in Wyoming on I 90 I dropped it down to the lowest position. Good wind with big trucks and I could see it was taking a beating, so down it went and all was well.

A little common sense and all will be well.

With larger (much bigger)screens I would check all the little screws once in a while. I have the larger rifle and once after a lengthy speedy ride cross country I found some a scosh loose, not real loose, but each snugged up a bit-but carefull with those little plastic guys.

I agree with the comments above. I ran a +6+5 CB for two years/30K + and "high speeds" and now run a +5+4, both with reverse contour. no issues at all, other than the fact I believe it does cost me some mpg. I do check the screws on occasion just to make certain and have never found them to be loose or had any other hardware issues. Now I am at 55K. I find that I ride with the screen in a lower position than I used to and could actually use a +4+4. When around big trucks I do drop the screen to the lowest position to reduce the buffeting on the screen.

BTW - I still have the +6+5 w/reverse flip if anyone is interested. Drop me a PM and we'll work out a price.

Been running a +4 / +3 flip on two FJR's since '06 and another flip on a prior '04. Never any problems with any of them, including swapping between winter and summer shields each season.

Enjoy the new shield!

FJR Bandit - I am interested in your surplus CB but being a newbie I haven't mastered the PM'ing stuff yet. Will investigate now so keep an eye out!!!
