K75S tall windshield hits the handlebars?

[jconway607]

I bought a tall windshield for my K75S and put it on the bike. It fit perfectly. I did have a set of risers on my bike, which possibly made the difference. No handlebar hitting problems. I subsequently sold it to someone on Ebay, who then returned it to me saying his handlebars hit the windshield. Anyone tried to use one of these tall screens on their K75S bikes and had the same problem? I hate to do it, since they seemed to be a rare item, but I'm ready to trash it rather than go through the same problems with anyone else. I'm surprised that the company who made it didn't see the problems. There is no name on it.

John,

If it is only hitting a bit, it is possible that they have the bars rolled too far forward in the bar clamps.

If that is the case, just loosen the four bolts on the clamps and roll the bars back a bit.

You could check that on your bike. It only takes a few minutes to pull your barbacks off.

Good point, Lee. I hadn't thought of that. It would probably solve the problem very easily. Thanks.
