Installed MRA Highway windscreen

I got tired of the bugs hitting me and wind pushing so hard when riding over 60 mph, so I installed an MRA Highway windscreen a few days ago.

Installation had only two problems:
1. The nuts for the mounting bits and pieces were small and were required to fit into very small "cutouts". I found using needle nosed pliers worked well.
2. Attaching the handlebar mounts to the handlebars was a real chore on the right side as the front brake line paralleled the bars right where I needed to put the mount. So room was very tight and I probably spend 50% of the install time on that.

I like the windscreen. My other bike is a BMW with electric windscreen, and it does a wonderful job. I was not expecting the MRA to be anywhere as good, but it did an adequate job of keeping the wind and bugs off my chest. Much better now for touring. However, I do notice the wind noise more now, but that is such a subjective thing. I have no intentions of removing the windscreen as I'm happy with how it looks and works although I initially thought I'd remove it when not planning to ride over 60 mph or so for extended periods.

Couple shots of my installation below. Not sure why the Preview showed the pictures but upon posting they disappeared, so I just put the link below......

I don't get the pictures either but the MRA is a good choice. I think that they are the best manufactured windscreens on the planet. Every application that I have ever tried had fit and finish second to none.

Sorry, I have no idea why those links are not working. I will try a different link to them below. The windscreen photos are the last couple in my Bonnie album below. I sure do like the MRA windscreen and would recommend it to anyone thinking of getting one. I would however, be prepared for those little-bitty mounting hardware nuts! Without a good set of needle-nosed pliers the job would have been a lot more difficult for my fat fingers!

Hey, just noticed their is a Scottish and British flag as icons when I reply, by none for the USA. Surely there are enough Yanks here to justify one?:ride:

Another try to the same place (which also works in Preview before I submit my post):

Do what I do... Use Photobucket and copy/paste the IMG code into the body of the message. :D
