Installation was quicker than the normal process of removing my windshield with other systems, including the hard mounted National Cycle. So Easy!! Review Details  Was this review helpful to you?

The top metal strap had to be pried on with a flat head screwdriver. Be careful not to scratch your chrome. Also you need to test the clearance to gas tank prior to finish. Very nice look and I love being able to exchange the shields! Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Nothing wrong with the set itself. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(4 stars) reviewed on 02/06/11 by Lyle Newell (lnewell) from , , for a 0 750 Shadow ACE wrote: Not the easiest upgrade. Did not include "Burr Barrier" as noted on packing list. When I spoke with National Cycle, they suggested using tape or a cell phone screen protector in place of. I used neither without a problem. Tools required you may not have: 4mm hex key and torque wrench. WARNING - Torque specs are in Inch Pounds not Foot Pounds. A mistake here could be costly!

Here is what I did. Purchased Metric T-Nuts, threaded rod, washers, extra 1 inch or longer bolts to screw into T-Nuts and nuts for the bolts from the hardware store. Orient the straps properly to the instructions. Always start with the bottom strap first. Take one of the bolts you purchased and screw two nuts on to it leaving no more than 1/8th inch of thread sticking past the nuts and lock them together by screwing them against each other. Screw this into the t-nuts opposite the washer like side of the t-nut. Use blue lock tight on the t-nuts to the strap bracket and follow the directions using this in place of the knob ends for now. Torque to 75 inch pounds. Hold t-nut and remove bolt from the t-nut. Cut threaded rod to the length you need. Use lock tight on threads. Use washers to space out as you need and torque the knobs to 75 inch pounds to the t-nuts. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(5 stars) reviewed on 10/23/10 by Ken (kbat69) from , , for a 0 750 Shadow Aero wrote: I had to by this mounting kit because of the windscreen I decided to go with (National Cycle 2-Up). It was a little confusing to install the bands at first because they weren't labeled as which side was up. I didn't think it really mattered but turns out that it did. Easy fix though as soon as I turned them over. Overall it's a very easy install and excellent design. Looks good on my bike with or without the windscreen to.

(5 stars) reviewed on 05/12/10 by AL (Mascotal) from Surrey, BC, Canada, for a Black 2006 1100 Shadow Sabre wrote: Switchblade mounting kits work great. When mounting hardware onto forks put a thin coat of clear silicone on the inside of clamps. Allow the silicone to cure before clamping into place. This will prevent any scratch marks getting on your chrome fork covers. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No
