Windscreen info..

[ALB80-850]

Greetings all,

I am going to get a windshield of some sort or another before fall. I have been looking at National cycle and like the looks of their shields. My question is, How flexable are the mounts? I have a 81 GS850GL, I do not have the stock buckhorn handlebars, They are more along the lines of "G" bars. I believe they are off a GS750? Their may be a picture in my sig block or I could try to post one. Do the mounts have enough play to make them fit without any mods?

Thanks,

Andy

Generally, Yes. the ones ive used actually mount to a pivot rod that then runs thru a clamp that goes on the bar. So you can put the clamp where you need to, and the rod will pivot where IT needs to...Ive used them on a 1100G with Daytona bars (pretty flat bars), and had no problems..

I've owned two National Cycle windshields. The standard mounting hardware could accommodate almost any reasonable configuration of handle bars.

Not only will the accomodate the standard G bars, they will also adjust going the other way.

On my wife's '82 850L, not only do we have pull-back bars (from a 1980 KZ1300B), but we also have set-backs that move them back another 2.5" or so. The adjustment available in the mounts allows the bars to be that far back with no problems.
