Default Road Glide with Clearview Problem
I have an 04 RG with a Clearview shield. When I turn the handlebars to the left to lock the fork the right mirror pushes on the shield and has even popped the well nut out. I've tried changing the angle of the mirror to no avail. Since I bought it used, I'm not sure if the mirrors are stock or not. I need suggestions.

Thanks......Steve

You can either tilt the bars, the handle bar clamps, or replace the bars with Wild1 515's, they clear the shield altogether.

Theclearview shield on my Road Glide does the exact same thing. Also the view through my shield is not exactly clear. I won't buy another.
