FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this windshield?

The primary benefit is increased rider comfort through significant reduction of wind blast and buffeting, especially on highways and during longer rides.

Does this windshield come with mounting hardware?

Mounting hardware is typically included, but it's best to confirm with the retailer or check the product's packaging upon arrival, as specific kits may vary.

Will this windshield fit my 2005 BMW R 1100 RT?

How much wind protection can I expect?

This 50 cm windshield is designed for average height riders, providing substantial deflection of wind from the torso and upper body. Results may vary slightly based on individual rider height and riding posture.

Can I install this myself?

Installation requires drilling into the fork head. While possible for mechanically inclined individuals, it's recommended to consult a professional mechanic if you are not comfortable with this modification.

What is the material of the windshield?

Troubleshooting

Windshield vibrates excessively at speed

Check that all mounting bolts are securely tightened. Ensure the fork head mounting points are stable and correctly aligned. Re-check for any loose components.

Reduced visibility due to scratches or hazing

Clean the windshield thoroughly. For minor scratches, consider using a plastic polish specifically designed for acrylic or polycarbonate. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.

Double-check that you have the correct model windshield for your motorcycle. Loosen all mounting hardware slightly to allow for adjustment, then retighten once aligned. Ensure the fork head is not warped.
