FJ09 WINDSHIELD ADJUSTER LOOSENING


FJ29ER

Recommended Posts

Any ideas on how to keep the stupid windshield adjusters from loosening? I put a taller screen on and the left side adjuster no matter how tight I get it. It vibrates completely loose within 5 miles or so. Was thinking of a little ziptie around the threads to give it some friction but still be able to loosen it if need be...

Bicycle wheel skewer. Remove the adjuster, thread one of these through. Job done.

Not my idea, but lots of posts about it. I have one on mine and they work well.

@FJ29ER - I agree with @BBB and use the same part.  Not only is it easier to loosen and tighten if you ever need to adjust the screen but there is no way it can ever accidentally come loose if set up properly.

Thank you.

 

I remember reading that awhile back, completely forgot.  I searched every word I could think of and could not find that "fix the stupid..." post. And only made it to page 3 searching with windscreen.
