So basically the instructions were to make this a two step process— install the top bolts and wait then finish with the bottom bolts?I re-read them and did as instructed.

Letting it sit (while warm and not cold out mind you) lets the windscreen mold to the mounting brackets. There is a 2-3 mm difference where the hole is on the windscreen and the bracket until you let it mold. Trust me, it works.What's the purpose of waiting a day or so?
Oh I do. It's just that patience is a gene often missing in guys' DNA.Trust me, it works.
Haha. Excuses excuses... Nah, seriously though, waiting was killing me. Especially with the beautiful weather I missed.Oh I do. It's just that patience is a gene often missing in guys' DNA.
There is something really wrong here. All the shields on al lthe ST's and this one deflects it's to fit under no extra weight or external temperature increase?Letting it sit (while warm and not cold out mind you) lets the windscreen mold to the mounting brackets.

Glad it worked out for you!Just installed a Calsci Medium Touring windshield on my 2003, replacing the stock windshield. The windshield was delivered quickly and came with a nice microfibre cloth and cleaning solution, along with a California Scientific tire pressure gauge. I put the new shield on the same evening it arrived, and it fit perfectly! Today, I rode to work on the ring road that encircles the city, riding at speeds up to 135 - 140 kph, and because it's a ring road, I ride in 3 different directions at those speeds, so the west wind that is normal in this area is always a factor in rider comfort. I have to say, I am very impressed. MUCH better protection than stock, much quieter and more comfortable. I have it on the lowest setting (a non-electric windshield) and I can comfortably see over it, but when I look through it, the view is crystal-clear. From this first ride (about 25 km - at +3°C), I'm thinking that I'm really going to enjoy having this new windshield on my bike!
