everybody David Jordan thanks for watching today we’re going to install a windshield on my motorcycle stay tuned so I’m getting ready to take a an extended trip on the bike and I decided that I wanted a windshield that I could put on and take off just a little extra protection on the road for the rain and bugs at night just things like that and for all kinds of reasons so what I did was I purchased a Memphis Shades windshield from Cool Springs Motorsports and here in Franklin Tennessee and I want to shout out to that crew over there those guys are wonderful Chris Kristina I’m gonna mess this up r6 fairings nokey Canuck kanuma he’s going to fuss at me for that and Jeremy you guys have been awesome I appreciate it Kristina you start that YouTube channel like you said you were going to Chris wait on YouTube brother all right so those guys hooked me up the submit fish ate the the size according to size chart for me that’s going to be about a 19 inch this is the facts F 80s windshield so it’s a little wider than some so I didn’t want something I wanted something that would provide you know like pretty decent protection also I had to get the brackets that go with it and they look like this and it doesn’t look like it’s not going to be a very difficult install but I thought some of you guys might and gals might be interested so let’s do this so the first thing I’m doing is for the headlight cones I’m taking out these two so that the brackets will fit in there and that’s not difficult I put the hex key goes with it into
the slot I’m using to sock it make it easier to this taken the other two out right now we put the bracket on just like this again this is the bottom part here this is the top up here so I put the bracket on just like that a plastic washer on and I’ll start the cat I’ll do that for both of them I’m not going to tighten these up just yet I’m going to leave them a little loose till I get all they’ll get both of them on and then I will adjust my start foot all right so r1 fairings the bracket that’s how the brackets go with the flange facing in and the hooks facing down next we take this bracket we’re going to take the nut out of it that using the long end of the allen key so you can get around there this part just simply comes right apart there I’m going to put this facing out and with the little loop part forward and slide that around this part actually just kind of goes in there like that and then just kind of snaps in place which it looks like it’s going to be really complicated but it’s not and then I will put the allen key for the nut bolt back in place let me too tight and I will just tighten that up get it approximately where I want and leave
it right there and then I’m going to do put all four of them on there all right so all four of mounting brackets are on now and you want to make sure that they’re pointing out outward from the bike and yamaha r1 fairings you wanna make sure the little loop there is going toward the headlight like you see there okay and I’ve got all four of them on not very difficult like I showed you and and essentially what I’m going to do now is put the shield on there in the brackets and align the bottom to get get them where they’re where they need to go then I’ll lock down the two bottom ones and then start working on the two top ones for final adjustments well there it is it took about it took about 30 minutes to get it on and all I did was I put all four of those brackets on there and then I seated I took the windshield and put the two bottom hooks in the brackets and then moved the top brackets around so I could get the the top ones in there and then locked in place this is a removable shield and once I did that I was able to adjust the whole shield to the desired height that I was looking for for me it’s got to go right to the bridge of my nose and that’s exactly where this one fits and so I like to stay and talk some more but that’s not going to happen you
