I was driving to work the other day and noticed that the wind****eld was
crooked, it seemed to be leaning back towards me more on one side. Once I
pulled off the highway and there wasn't that constant wind pu****ng hard
against it I noticed that the right hand clamp (the wind****eld is attached
to the handle bars by two plastic clamps with bolts running through each
side) was loose. turns out one of the bolts connecting the two sides of
the
clamps together had snapped. On the highway the wind****eld was pinned
back
against the mirror stem and didn't move, on the slower roads it moved
around
quite a bit with every bump. When I got home I started to disconnect the
other side, since I didn't like the prospect of heading down the highway
and
having the other side go and having the edge of the wind****eld lodged into
my neck. I put a little muscle into it and snapped the same bolt on the
other clamp, so now I have two clamps with broken bolts sitting in them,
they both broke about 1/8" inside the plastic plastic clamp, which will
make
it difficult to cut a groove in the broken bolt in order to get a screw
driver in it to back it out.
I figured I could spend many hours of frustration trying to get the broken
part of the bolt out, and still have to find a suitable replacement bolt,
but I opted to spend a few minutes on the internet and then went to the
local jap dealer and ordered a pair of replacement clamps for $17.
Hopefully they're the right ones.
