    You know it's getting real when the hairdryer comes out 🙂
    Smart thinking with the dremel mate, definitely looks like it made the rest of the job easier
    Having rode Simon's GTR1400 with the tall screen I know how awesome they are, it was the first time I felt comfortable motovlogging on a 70mph road.
    Great video mate.

      The hair dryer is a serious tool. 😃 Thanks brother. A bit of improvisation is usually needed when working with non factory parts. I’m happy with the visual result. Simon’s add on looks cool. Better than the one I had.

    The new screen looks magnificent, loved the look of it when I saw it. Loved how the riding video had a rev-ba-bom within half a second of starting. A full review would make a good video, pity it's not just that bit more high - but it looks damn slick!

    Mine didnt line up quite right either..I just pushed the screen onto the mounts with a little force and the screen spreaded out and everything lined perfect, no need to drill the holes out bigger. The rubber gasket came right off for me, but I did it after the bike had been sitting in the summer sun for a little while. I ended up ditching the bigger screen and bought a C. Bailey`s Euro Sport smoked screen which dramatically eliminated all the buffeting. Sadly, C. Bailey`s is no longer making screens and have focused on what they have always done.. Aircraft grade plastics!

    • @hachewie
      @hachewie  2 ปีที่แล้ว
