I got home before sunset tonight and got a chance to fit the windshield to Buzzy.
Getting the bevel off the headlight in daylight is indeed easier, who knew? Of course I see that almost everything inside there needs to be replaced.
The brace for the windshield does need to fit over the flasher shaft. This was a pretty easy task and I do see that the shaft on this side is bent from the tip over last week.
Here it is loosely fastened.
I do need some advice here guys. the left brace does not tighten down enough for me. If I try hard enough, I can get the bars to rotate. The right side tightens correctly into the riser.
This was the hardest part to get back together. I mistakenly took it all the way out last night. That little spring is amazingly strong.
This is it tightened up. I will need to source new grommets for this too. I cannot find any on the Arthur Fulmer website. I cannot even find this windscreen thus I think they discontinued it some time ago.
I took it for a test ride and maintained 55mph or so for awhile. The flow of air is great, no buffeting. The top is just below my field of view. I even managed to get the headlight straight again.
After the ride, I let the bike idle for several minutes while I stood on the leaning side. I was hoping to get it to repeat the tip over but it showed no signs of movement at all. I am now wondering if I simply did not have the kickstand fully forward when I walked away from it allowing the bike to fall.
