Hello guys. Well I finally got back to Calgary from my Cabin and was able to install my new Parabellum windshield on my 2014 MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CUSTOM 1400.
This is a very high quality screen, it fit great and looks great as well. Very happy with it. I did notice yesterday that when I passed some cars on the highway at very high speed. I did get some buffeting but what can you expect, one should not be driving that fast! But at normal highway speeds up to say 75 mph you feel nothing behind this windshield , its very solid and is made of very high quality
Kit was very well packaged and arrived safely, the only comment I have from doing the fitment was that a few extra hardware parts, ie, nuts and washers, rings and plastic caps would have been a god send to have.
As I did my install down in my parkade, and one small nut and washer were dropped, bounced and went into the storm drain never to be scene again. This nut and washer needed to be started to the lower screw, in a very tight spot on the mount that’s on the side of the headlight. Also one of the plastic rings that hold the black caps on for the finished look, will not attach and stay on the white plastic ring on the screw that holds the screen to the mount. It snaps on then pops off again. I took it off and it has a deformed moulding shape or will not hold the cap on in place. So again some extra hardware would be really a good thing.
From the Parabellum Web Site;
