Installing Detachable Windshield
- Install the windshield per the instructions in the Detachable Windshield Kit.
WARNINGImproper installation of accessories or loading of cargo can affect motorcycle stability and handling, which could result in death or serious injury. (00455b)
WARNINGFailure 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 the windshield upon completion of this installation. Be sure the windshield mounting does not restrict full-left or full-right movement of the front fork assembly. Restricted movement could affect handling, resulting in death or serious injury. If restriction does occur, adjust the windshield as needed until proper clearance is obtained. Have experienced Harley-Davidson service personnel correct any problems before riding with this accessory installed.
WARNINGBefore starting engine, be sure throttle control will snap back to idle position when released. A throttle control that prevents engine from automatically returning to idle can lead to loss of control, which could result in death or serious injury. (00390a)
NOTE
After installation, check the clearance of the throttle cable guide to the fuel tank. Failure to position the guide correctly may cause scratches or other damage to the fuel tank.
Check mounting hardware periodically. Never ride with loose mounts. A loose mount causes extra stress on all the other mounts, as well as the windshield itself, and could result in premature failure of components.
