    I am going to take off from work on Friday afternoon in preparation for a 2 day weekend trip form California to Arizona.
    Bike is serviced for 4000 miles 2 weeks ago and ready to go, I installed the Handle bar raiser form moto pump, amazing thing.
    tomorrow is time to install the lowering peg from knight design, and frame sliders from TREX and Puig touring wind shield I , think the item # is 7007 W.
    other Than wind shields installations look easy , but The Windshield does not look easy to install.
    can you please guide me to a You tube or other videos with step by step installation Guide?
    Thank you

    Did you reference the factory service manual?

    I've made a few 2000+ mile trips and I find the stock windshield about perfect for my size (5'11".) I get no helmet buffing and just enough wind to keep torso up. I do have the Honda risers and can do 5-600 mile days fairly easily without any pain (I do take 1 Aleve before departure as I'm an old fart.) Enjoy trip and let us know how your mods are working. I find the bike very comfortable.

    What are you having trouble figuring out? Or should I ask which part is confusing. Takes about a minute to remove.

    I am a kind of video visual person , now I know at least where to start from.
    I will try the suggestion on this and Discussion forum, will update .
    by the wat I bought my self a CB1100 for long rides and touring , so no rush to place the new windscreen, unless I am really comfortable that I am not breaking anything. This VFR is my favorite bike of my current 3 bikes, 2014 VFR 800 , 2008 V strom 1000 , and 2013 CB 1100.
