well here is the thing.. I can get the left and center studs on but the right won't make it. And just the opposite I can get the right and center but not the left. saw nothing in directions about screws and pushing or pulling or whatnot.. I have layed a cloth tape across both the stock HD shield and the LRS and it is almost 1/4 inch difference. like it needs the outside holes 1/8 further out each from center line. now i have again spoke with Jason at LRS and he explained about yes they are obviously cut flat then heat formed and some shrinking does occur on forming...

I've been running a LRS 10" windscreen for the past year or so.
Went on just like the oem. No problems. Channels the wind much better than stock. Great shield.

Before you start drilling...get a caliper and measure the THICKNESS of the shield. Factory specs are 0.124-0.125. Thicker shields cause mounting/fitment issues. If it IS thicker...this WILL cause a gaps between front/rear parts of the fairing and water will flow thru.
Personally I don't feel like I should have to drill on a part that is SUPPOSED to fit.
