Default my new windshield is broken

Dam, i just put on my new low profile windshield and 1 of the clamp broke when I was clamping it down.

Damn, all kinds of things. First burning my sweats and then 2 sissy bar bolts came out and now the windshield clamp.

I am sure it will all work out..

Default RE: my new windshield is broken

Those quick release clamps are made out of pot metal and break real easy, you have to loosen the mounting bolts and make sure the windshield i lined up before clamping down. And when you are pushing the clamps you want to use your palm to press as opossed to just pushing on the end of the clamp. This is what i do and have not broke on since i changed my aproach.
