I know this is probably a really simple thing to do, so I'm hoping someone can break it down for me - preferably with a photo or two.
Recently purchased OEM roadster screen (Thanks, Jim!) and am trying to put it on, but don't want to do it wrong/incorrectly. Can some of you tech-savvy types help me out? Thanks!

Very easy... the only "trick" is leave everything loose until it's all fitted, don't tighten any connectors till they're all in place.
- Below the upper yoke there's two mounting bolts that only hold the wire cable retainers - undo them, remove the retainers, fit the two small flat brackets then refit the retainers.
- In the lower yoke there's two holes - these may already be used to mount the driving lights if you have them. Driving lights (if fitted) are mounted from below the lower yoke, and the flat mounting straps for the screen are mounted from above the lower yoke.
- Mount the round upper bars to the small flat brackets that you earlier attached to the upper yoke.
- This step's easier with an assistant to hold the screen for you. Mount the screen to the four brackets. Make sure the screen is aligned & centered on the bike, paying attention to the alignment around the headlight and the centering at the top of the screen, then tighten all connectors.
- Enjoy.

the two crome straps that come down are left & right be sure you have them on the right way or the holes wount line up.

Matt-
Thanks for the help - the only problem was tightening up the bolts below the retainers on the upper yolk; it's a bit too tight to get a wrench in there. Other than that, it went well and looks great -- thanks again!
