    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I was wondering how to install a handlebar style windshield. It only has 2 round bars that slide into a holder? sure don't clamp. The other end has plastic round screw type things attached to a clip . The clip slides into windshield. I hope thats clear as mud. Sorry don't know termology. The rod slides down into the keeper or the clip pops out? I am not sure what is wrong. I do not know how it should be, straight up tilt it back,plastic screw things with the rod turned in or out? Any ideas on this. It is off for now but very buggy here. I cant seem to adjust it no matter what I do, it comes loose while riding sometimes before during and after? I have had the rod with the clip on it slide completely down in the holder. I was wondering if I could clamp the rod on the end so it can't come loose. Maybe it was installed wrong or something?
 
Most of the better (bigger) shields will have more than two mounting points, are you sure you are not missing something?

Any idea what kind of shield it is?

Post a picture or two and we might be able to help you better.

The Spitfire shield is pretty popular and only has two mounting points. This might be what the OP has, but who knows.

Without photos, we can only guess that perhaps some threads are stripped on your mounting hardware. Perhaps you need to contact the manufacturer and try to get replacement hardware.

Dennis Kirk sells replacement hardware for the shields they carry. Windshields don't change very much over the years, so the hardware is most likely still available unless it's some oddball brand.
