SPORTSHIELD INSTRUCTIONS

HONDA VTX 1800

TOOLS REQUIRED:  3/16” Allen wrench (provided)

 

1.                  Install the mounting plates onto the windshield using the pre-assembled bolts on the mounting plates. The Santoprene grommets should be inserted through the holes in the windshield so that the flat round part of the grommet lays flat on both sides of the windshield. On each plate, get both tabs started before you tighten them. (see Figure 1.1 & 1.2)

 

            Note:    *(Wide)      – Tabs point in towards each other.

 

WARNING

 

If the adjustable clamps are installed backwards, it will result in serious gas tank damage.  Always check for proper gas tank clearance before tightening hardware.
 
 

 

 


 

      

 

2.                  Loosely install the four fork clamps on the forks, approximately two inches apart. (see Figure 2)

 

3.                  Loosen the four mounting bolts that are to hold the mounting plates to the fork clamps, and slide the mounting plates onto the fork clamps. (see Figure 3)

 

4.                  Adjust the height, angle, and alignment of the shield. Carefully check gas tank clearance, and tighten all mounting bolts.

 

WARNING:   This is a quick disconnect kit. Always tighten down all mounting bolts after removing or installing the windshield every time.

Care and Cleaning Instructions

 

To clean your windshield, use only warm water and a mild non-abrasive, dishwashing liquid. Use a soft cloth, such as a T-shirt or flannel cloth. To protect your windshield, please use Novus #2 to remove minor scratches, or use a polish like Memphis Shades Shinola which is specially designed for plastic windshields; glass cleansing agents will cause severe damage to your windshield and will void your warranty.

Never use any glass products, petroleum based chemicals, or cleaning agents with ammonia, bleach or any harsh chemicals. This includes Rain-X, brake fluid, acetone, and gasoline.
