Windshield (June 2, 2011)

So I’m thinking I should add a windshield so it will make my life riding easier.  I think.  After ordering, and while attempting to install, I find out the handlebars on the bike are not the original – neither the 12″ ape hangers or the Kawasaki standard.  There isn’t room to add front turn signals (another post), and there’s barely enough room to add the windshield mounting clamps.  What happens over time is that the windshield ends up rubbing on the tachometer and speedometer & both of these will put stress cracks in the windshield where they rub.  Windshield is not currently installed, but it does help break the wind – most noticeably when going over 45 mph.
