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

The oblong hole attaches to the headlight mounting bolt/signal stalk, the tab with two holes mounts to a lug on the top triple clamp and the top of the fork. This photo might help:



Might have some headlight ears, let me dig through my junk and I'll let you lnow.

Hey Charlie,

Thought I had a pair, but only found one headlight ear, a left one. Not sure if it'll fit an 850-T or not - the tubular part is 5.75"/14.5 cm long.

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
