INSTALLATION
Lower the windshield into position. Carefully insert the side brackets on the lower grommets. Verify that the notches on each bracket are firmly seated on a rubber grommet.
Gently push the top of the windshield toward the rear until the upper notches fully engage the upper grommets.
WARNING
Improper installation of accessories or loading of cargo can affect motorcycle stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00455b)
WARNING
Failure to provide adequate clearance between stationary and moving parts can cause loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00378a)
NOTE
Inspect windshield upon completion of installation. Verify that windshield mounting does not restrict full left or full right movement of front fork assembly. If restriction does occur, adjust windshield as needed until proper clearance is obtained. Have experienced Harley-Davidson service personnel correct any problems before riding with this accessory installed.
NOTE
Check mounting hardware periodically. Never ride with loose mounts. A loose mounting causes extra stress on all other mounts, as well as the windshield itself. This causes premature failure of components.
CARE AND CLEANING
NOTE
NOTICE
Use only Harley-Davidson recommended products on Harley-Davidson windshields. Do not use harsh chemicals or rain sheeting products, which can cause windshield surface damage, such as dulling or hazing. (00231c)
NOTICE
Polycarbonate windshields/wind deflectors require proper attention and care to maintain. Failure to maintain polycarbonate properly can result in damage to the windshield/wind deflector. (00483e)
Do not use benzene, paint thinner, gasoline or any other type of harsh cleaner on the windscreen/windshield. Doing so damages the surface.
Do not clean in hot sun or high temperature.
Powdered, abrasive or alkaline cleanser damages the windshield. Never scrape the windshield with a razor blade or other sharp instruments. This causes permanent damage.
Sunlight reflections off the inside curvature of a windshield can cause extreme heat build-up on motorcycle instruments. Exercise care in parking. Park facing the sun, place an opaque object over the instruments, or adjust the windshield to avoid reflections.
NOTE
Covering the windshield with a clean, wet cloth for about 15 minutes before washing makes dried bug removal easier.
Harley-Davidson Windshield Water Repellent Treatment (Part No. 99841-01) is approved for use on Harley-Davidson polycarbonate windshields.
