4. Setup and Installation
4.1. Preparation Before Installation
- Stabilize the Motorcycle: Park the bike on level ground. Switch off the engine and secure the motorcycle using a center stand or paddock stand.
- Use Proper Tools: Select correct-size, high-quality tools such as torque wrenches or hex keys. Avoid using damaged or worn tools. An Allen wrench is included for installation.
- Clean Mounting Areas: Ensure both the original mounting surface and the accessory contact surface are free from dust, oil, rust, or adhesive residue.
4.2. Installation Process
The windshield extension uses a clamp-on fixing mode, requiring no drilling. The accessories are pre-assembled for ease of installation.

- Test Fit First: Position the accessory to confirm correct hole alignment and sufficient clearance from surrounding components before tightening fasteners.
- Attach the Clamps: Place the clamps onto the edge of your motorcycle's existing windshield.
- Secure with Screws: Use the provided screws and hex wrench to tighten the clamps. The design features double screw fixation for enhanced stability.
- Ensure Stability: The clamps include anti-slip gaskets and anti-slip rubber pads to prevent vibration loosening and maintain the set angle. A square nut slot prevents nuts from falling off during installation.

4.3. Final Safety Check
After installation, manually check that the part is firmly secured without looseness. Carefully operate related functions (e.g., steering movement, braking, suspension travel) to make sure there is no interference throughout the full range of motion.
5. Operating Instructions (Adjustment)
The windshield extension is designed for adjustable height and angle to optimize wind protection and rider comfort.
- Height Adjustment: The extension arms and double hinges allow for an increased range of vertical movement. Depending on the type, the height can be adjusted up to 105mm (Type A) or 110mm (Type B). Loosen the screws on the clamps, slide the extension to the desired height, and re-tighten securely.
- Angle Adjustment: The windshield can be adjusted to an angle of approximately 135 degrees. The rotatable bracket allows for 360-degree adjustment, making it suitable for windshields with different arcs. Loosen the pivot points, set the desired angle, and re-tighten firmly.

Experiment with different positions to find your best fit for optimal wind deflection and clear vision.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Routine Inspection
It is advisable to inspect mounting bolts and connection points every 500 km or once per month to ensure they remain tight and secure. Check for any signs of wear or damage to the windshield or mounting hardware.
6.2. Cleaning
Clean the accessory with a soft damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, strong acids/alkalis, or abrasive cleaning agents that may damage the surface finish of the ABS plastic.
7. Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions:
- Windshield feels loose or vibrates: Ensure all screws on the clamps and adjustment points are tightened securely. The double screw fixation and anti-slip gaskets are designed to prevent loosening. Re-check the installation steps.
- Windshield folds in at high speeds: This indicates insufficient tightening. Ensure the clamps are firmly secured to the main windshield and all adjustment points are locked. The anti-slip features should prevent this when properly installed.
- Distorted vision through the windshield: While the product is designed for clear vision, some minor distortion can occur at transitions or if not positioned correctly. Adjust the height and angle to ensure your primary line of sight is above the extension, or at a position where distortion is minimal and does not impede safe riding.
- Difficulty adjusting height/angle: Loosen the relevant screws slightly before attempting to adjust. Do not force adjustments. Ensure the rotatable bracket is free to move before tightening.
8. User Tips
- For easier height adjustment, consider flipping the screws inward. Some users also suggest replacing the standard screws with star head screws for convenience.
- To avoid vision distortion, adjust the windshield extension so that your line of sight is just above its top edge.
- At lower speeds or in hot weather, you can turn the extension horizontally to allow more airflow to your helmet.
- Regularly check the tightness of all fasteners, especially before long rides or after riding on rough terrain, to maintain stability and safety.
