omniphil Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It may not be as noticeable with the stock screen, but with an aftermarket screen there is a bit of play in the windshield mount (forward and back), When you on some bumpy back roads it jumps around quite a bit. Has anyone taken it apart and seen if there was a way to take out the movement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattraxx Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I replaced the lock knobs with Allen head bolts. I found that you can't get the stock knobs tight enough to eliminate the free play. I carry an Allen key set in the tool bag in case I ever want to adjust the windshield height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto here, toss those knobs and replace with Allen bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wessie Posted September 16, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted September 16, 2015 I did the allen bolt thing, also added some stick on rubber pads to the supports half way up the screen to take some of the load as my Powerbranze screen gets pushed back by air pressure This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

omniphil Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Any idea what size allen bolt im looking for? I assume the nut is built in to the mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about the size as I just looked in the tin of odds & sods for something that matched the thread on the knobs. The bolt fits into a threaded hole in the cockpit subframe.

omniphil Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 Ok, sounds good, should I get some lock washers too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member wessie Posted September 16, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted September 16, 2015 Ok, sounds good, should I get some lock washers too?I have just used a bolt - use a long one and you can put a locknut on the back, but not necessary really This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.
