Title: Windshield mounting assistance and Head light ears needed... 850-T
Post by: radguzzi on June 18, 2015, 08:08:32 AM: Well my buddy Frank brought his 850-T over to have the recently purchased windshield and brackets installed and I have a problem figuring out where and how to mount the lower brackets.

Does anyone here have a good, close-up photo of how the lowers are attached and where...?

Obviously, the ones that attach to the screen are not an issue and I can figure out how the clamp kit will capture the lower part of those upper mounts but the lowers have me scratchin' me head...

Oh, and this T had fallen over at some point and the so the head light ears are pretty bent up, looking for a replacement set if anyone can help there. Chrome of black, not fussy.

Thanks,
Rob

Post by: radguzzi on June 19, 2015, 05:08:12 PM: Not a problem Charlie, I thought I had a set too but no... I will have Frank find a set so I can install this screen for him.

Thank you for looking.

Best,
Rob
