Sennister and Trike Flyer,
I am experiencing the same malfunction with the windscreen on my '04. The mention of "shims" as a temporary solution to lift the gear, to provide a new location for the cable to operate, as well as a shimming the motor(?), is very interesting. How did you achieve this and did it really work for you? What are the details and or specs of your solution? Was your solution off-the-shelf or custom built parts? Do you have any extra parts or pieces to sell? if not, where would you recommend I go to buy the parts or pieces you used. Thanks.
Looking at the worm gear and the gear housing in the pictures provided in this post (edited pics below), it appears that the gear can go no higher inside its housing (see pic with top of gear peeking out), where would any shims go? it seems moving the geared-cables, up or down might work but the pieces or shims, providing the cable's placement or spacing, are rather specific (see 2nd image identifying visible spacers or shims). Can these be cut/shaved or modified? Just curious.
For others that have had the problem and resolved it, were you able to find a new gear (parts) in stock somewhere OR is it the general consensus that the forced buying the whole $400 assembly was required?
-I can't help but wonder at times if the ST1300 was actually made in China and not Japan.
