I bought a used windscreen to replace the one on my bike now. The current one has spider cracks that are growing around the mount holes. I am using a adjustable Palmer bracket by the way. I assume that the Previous owner had overtightened the fasteners to start this problem.... SO... I have this replacement screen, it has these rubber mounting pieces in it, they seem fairly tight. I don't want to crack or stress this one so I thought I'd ask alla yinz whats a safe way to remove these rubber mounts, and how to install this on Palmer brackets without cracking or otherwise destroying the windscreen. Some pics for clarity.   | ||

Early in my Uly ownership I tried a couple of different screens and swapped them back and forth a bit. I should have just bought a set of the rubber mounts for each shield in the first place, but I didn't. As a result, I pushed them out several times. It wasn't easy, but I didn't damage either shield. I ended up with the Palmer brackets though, and so when I installed that, I just cut them off with a sharp knife and tossed them. Much easier and what I'd recommend for you. | ||

They just push right out with some force, I did it a few weeks ago. | ||

Thanks for the replies. The rubber pieces are out, came out without much fuss. Now, does anyone have any tips on installing it without cracking it? I was thinking maybe find some O Rings to cushion the windshield between the fastener and the bracket? hmmmm? | ||

I just installed mine with the hardware from Palmer. It didn't crack. | ||

I used the hardware that Palmer provided, no cracks, and that was even after several years of abuse and hitting a car hard enough to shatter the windscreen. The slightly bent brackets are on my XT right now. | ||

Ok, thanks for the replies. I will take care not crack it. I am just a little gunshy because the Previous owner cracked all 4 holes when installing it. |
