Madstad Windshield

Greg, I would rather have hard copy too; alas, it ain't going to be. Even installation instructions don't come with accessories and instead are found on the internet.

I have an old portable B&D workbench in the garage that serves as a stand for my laptop and nearby paper towel to wipe my fingers when I need the manual.

On the other hand, the stand and laptop work well with the DealerTool OBD that I got for the T120; nifty stuff.

 

So does 17 & 33 Ft Lbs sound about right? Mine due tomorrow! Merry Christmas to me

 

Traveler:
Upper Fork Pinch Bolt: 24nm = 17.7 Ft Lbs
Lower Fork Pinch Bolt: 45nm = 33.19 Ft Lbs

Congrats on the Madstadt; let me know how it does or what adjustments you did to eliminate helmet buffeting. Been too cold here in the great white North to tinker with mine.

 

Tks for confirming those numbers for me. W/S due today & King/Queen Comfort seat arrived last nite via UPS around 9:30.
Santa has come to see me a few weeks early this year!

 

Have fun!!
Remember to only remove and then install one fork pinch bolt at a time.

 

Got it on last evening. Not as complicated as I had imagined. 35° F outside right now but when it warms a bit I'll take it for a test ride of 80-90 miles on a lunch ride with a few other folks. Hope I don't end up wishing I'd taken the 'Wing!

 

Any reason why that silver pc. on the side couldn't be painted black so as not to draw attention to the mounting bracket(s)?

 

Being my impatient self I wanted to do it NOW! Found a large Sharpie and proceeded to try & black it out. Not too bad if I say so myself. This is with 2 coats.

 

Ha!! Good ol American ingenuity!! Looks good!

 

Got one on the way the little bug screen that came on the bike ain't cutting it.

 

Much better. Sometimes I think my indelible black marker is the best tool in my toolbox.
