The air pressure of forward motion helps keep the shield on the bike. There have been stories of being parked on the side of the hiway when a semi comes blowing by and the turbulence from the truck pulls the shield off the bike.

A cure:

Another thumbs up for the brukus ShieldShackle. I actually had my windshield blow off when I was parked under a bridge waiting out the storm from hell. A great piece of mind knowing the winshhield is not going to be stolen or blown off. I have several of their products and all top quality.

I questioned how mine went too so the last time I was at the dealer, I looked at a new bike and mine are exactly where they should be.

Before you put your windshield back on grease the grommets with a little bit of dielectric grease.

When i know i am not going to take it off for a while, i secure the wireforms in place with zip ties.
Prevents the wind or an opportunist from making off with it.
