Post by: EastBoundAndDown on February 02, 2014, 07:01:52 PM
Will this be easy to adapt to the GS headlight? Anyone here used it?

Looks like you just need to bolt the brackets to the screen, loosen the headlight mounting bolts slide it on then tighten the bolts and check the level of your headlight

ive used these before w/o probs like he said, a minor headlight adj MIGHT be necessary but takes MAYBE 5 mins. ive also used a smaller version of a Memphis shades on my 2nd 97 survived a top speed run w/o incident. and no wobbles. I guess its all about what works for you

I think I picked this screen up at J. C. Whitney. Simple to install, but one of the brackets broke.  It has worked well to keep the wind off my chest at highways speeds.  Sorry if the picture loaded upside down.

How tall is the screen you have mimikeni? Could you measure it for me?

This is the kind I have on mine. There's many out there on ebay for cheap they're not too bad.

Best picture I had on my computer of it on my bike xD I know it's hard to see. Click to make bigger.

It came with some brackets for being able to adjust the angle of the windscreen. I didn't really bother with it so I just used the bolt through the pre-drilled holes through the headlight bracket and into the headlight. If you do this be care full and don't tighten down a a lot it will crack the windshield. Doesn't really do much for the wind when you get up to 60+ mph.
