Yeah, don't let this dissuade you from getting a windshield. The installation is not as bad as maybe I made it sound, but it could be better. Not quite sure why the bottom brackets and bushings don't align better... almost like the engineers saw it looked good on paper, but didn't actually try it. I'm going to tweak my brackets like was suggested... I just wanted to be reassured that itwasn't my imagination.

I'm not a huge fan of having a windsheild on my Lo (from an esthetics standpoint), but it does make a difference in fatigue factor on longer rides. I still buzz around town without it. Therefore I wanted to make sure it would go on and come off easy enough that I would have no qualms about going back and forth. And actually, after going on a longish ride, I still haven't taken it back off until I have time to tweak the lower brackets to make the installation as easy as it is supposed to be.

I would not give up on the idea of a windshield because of a couple of post on here. Many have them and have no problems with them at all. I have none with mine. It was just a little more snug getting on and off then I liked. I just bent the tabs a little to it fit just a bit better. 1-2 min of my time and it was perfect.
