SS32 Windshield for Accessories International
Well, I got my windshield today, and so far, it's not going that great. The UPS guy thought it might be broken in the box becuases there was stuff clanging around in there. I listened but it sounded like the mounting hardware, so I accepted deliver (BIG MISTAKE!)
I opened it up and the windshield was fine, and the noise was the mounting hardware, which had broken loose from it's shrink wrap/cardboard packing material. Unfortunately, one of the sheet metal parts was missing apparently having it worked it's way out the unsealed bottom of the box. Also, the holes in the main sheet metal bracket that goes across the back of the windshield were not accurately aligned with the ones in the windshield and to get it mounted you have to force it. This causes the rubber grommet in the hole to bulge out like a herniated disc. Furthermore, in spite of the fact that I switched to a different windshield than the one (Sarris?) recommended so I could get an exact fit to the forks on the GZ, the mounting brackets are huge - not even close to the right size. I'd have to wrap the tubes in two thick towels for there to be any grip. It's just the wrong size mounting kit, period. So I'm missing parts, got the wrong size mounting kit and the grommets are popping out. And I'm only on step A of the installation. This is why I normally do not venture into add-ons. If I can send the whole thing back, I will, and I'll have a dealer put one on.
