Ok, I've searched the forum without success so I'm asking for he'p.

I'm replacing my stock windscreen with a Parabellum and it's coming to me with all parts but no instructions. I've searched the Parabellum site and don't see anything, Google has given me no love and my Clymer manual is a little lacking.

How do you pull off the stock screen to make room for the Parabellum? Embarassed

Remove the inner panel at each side (four screws).

To get the screen off, it`s sometimes also needed to loosen the center part.
Then you also need to remove the knee pads and the small bits with the aux. instruments.

If you e-mail them they have written instructions that are pretty good.

Thanks for both replies. It'll probably be next week before I get time to install it but I'll fire off an email to Parabellum right now. I didn't even think about that one. <thumbs up>

I emailed Parabellum asking for the instructions. Not only did they reply within an hour, someone took the time to hand-write the instructions and they sent them to me as a jpg file. Mr. Green

Do NOT over tighten the 4 screws that go through th eclear windscreen portion.

The star crack easily.

Once you get the hang of it it's on & off pretty easy.

I mad the mistake of leaving mine lean against the wall of the garage.
An errant basket ball bounced against it and the wind shield broke in half horizonatlly right at the mounting holes.

This set up does NOT give as much protection as the big Aero flow, but it looks pretty good on the RS and still lets you feel a little wind while moving.

Doh!

Embarassed

But they do list one for the LT on their website so maybe it's so simple.....you don't need instructions. <shrug>

Except there is an additional part and it is thinner than original. Having a web page explaining how to mount it wouldn't hurt.
