Default Klock Werks windshield gap?

I installed one of their windshield, and it seems to have a nasty gap at the bottom. I would think it should sit flush against the rubber gasket, no? If this normal, then their fitment sucks. I know the company they have used for the polycarbonate had a fire and they’re using someone new, but I think a contact might be in order.

Rob, I’d check to see if it isn’t your fairing that is malformed. I know mine is, as is many, many more, of the the Rushmore’s and up. Even if it’s the windshield, it will bend to fit.

Well I had the stock, then a LRS shield on. Both lined up perfectly with no issues.

My KW 8.5 lines up fine with the holes but always felt loose until I added -

just loosen everything up, and push that section in, then tighten the inside ones first while holding it, then the outside 2, mine will do the same unless I install it this way.

I've tried different methods for installation, it's even off on the sides and will not lineup. It's a good 1/4 off. Contacted KW, they have other issues with this last batch. They apologized, and are sending out a replacement immediately. What a stand up company.

When all else fails, pick up the two-ton phone and call the manufacturer.
