Sorry to hear that. I wonder if maybe this is a height issue? I'm by no means "Way to small" but I am at that genetically perfect height of 5'7" which I'm hoping will put me within the windshield's comfort zone. At least as long as it keeps the majority of the bugs/bats/flying beasties off of me, it should be good. I'm hoping so anyway.

The one complaint I have is the low quality of the Nuts & Bolts that are used in it.
The previous owner had obviously kept my GZ250 outside and they got a lot of rust on
them. I would recommend replacing them for better hardware or keeping them very well
lubricated for protection from the elements. I probably need to get myself a good cover too.

It's good to know that it makes a big difference because at least it shows something's working. I don't understand those tiny "flyscreen" windshields. Must be for daytime bikes only?

While I'm not one to be too focused on looking good (which is probably a good thing :retard: ) it doesn't hurt my feelings one bit if the windshield looks good. I am happy to hear that the fit is good, that's basically the main reason I went with the OEM is that I really don't have time to be tweaking things.

The point about the quality of the nuts and bolts is well taken. I noticed in the picture above that there appears to be some pitting in the chrome. I'll have to wait and see I suppose. Maybe I'll wire brush the crap out of it and take it from there, maybe powder coat it chrome? I'll have to search for some chrome nuts and bolts. Since you are in Texas (I think dryer?) and still had rust, I am going to have to do something for sure. Maybe it'll be ok to use stainless? Doesn't seem like they'd be too visible..
