The purpose of the plastic screws is to break off if you roll it verses crushing the dash.. It is a great idea..

Dont over tighten them.. .just barely seat them..

Has anyone put one of these on a blue Attack? If so how about a picture.

OK, I promised some pictures and finally got the windshield re-installed....ordered new bolts and rubber nuts and they just came in today. Also took a couple with the new hooked brake lever that some have asked about.

No. You lose the adjustability feature. I will say that it does feel right though....

What brand of brake lever did you use?

I used them for years & loved them with the hooked bars, but got tired of customizing the bars to look good!!!

Pure- a drill, socket wrench, open ended wrench and philips head screwdriver. Yamaha supplies the little tool used to expand the nut inside the belly pan. Just follow the directions, they are pretty well laid out. If possible, use the metric size drill bit they specify, otherwise you'll be routing out the rivet hole with your non-metric bit. Everything lines up easily.

Essentially, you are drilling out 4 rivets on the belly (a sharp drill bit helps), using the special tool to install the nuts inside the belly pan and then screwing it all together!

Hmmm, I only thought that color combo would work with the GT but was wrong. That does look good, matching the exaust covers

 

[Sasquatch]

Now thats a way better shield and it looks good as well.
