Anyone else have difficulties installing the Memphis shades shield? Just took off the HD 7 Wind splitter windshield to replace it with the 8.5 Memphis shades one. I cant seem to push/fit the slotted holes of the shield on the circular threaded bosses. I dont want to put too much pressure on it and crack the shield. Is it supoose to me a super tight fit? Is there a trick to installing these? Didnt have any issues with the stock or HD shield. TIA
I just ordered a 6.5 Memphis Shades shield and noticed that they make multiple models for batwings. I almost ordered the wrong one. They have a pre-2014, a 2014-2015, and some that only fit their own batwing fairings. Is it possible you got one of those? Just a possibility....

Yea I'm wondering if you got a pre '14 shield and are trying to put it on a '14, the '14 models have a wider space between the two outside mounting holes.
