How simple is a LRS Windshield install?

Your biggest worry should be to not over tighten. I went with the 7in LRS (I am 5' 8"). It seemed to work ok. I have now had my seat modified by MCC (lowered 2in and narrowed) and have not had a chance to ride it because I am in Afghanistan. I hope it still works well for me. If not it will be for sale this Spring.

Installed my 9" and a windshield pouch in just a few minutes with a screwdriver. I'm about the furthest thing from a wrench or being handy that there is, so if I can do it anyone can. Three screws, don't overtighten...that's about all there is to it.

Yup, and the chrome reverse muffler bearings are somewhat tricky too. Don't want to be a victim of disynchronous oscillation.

I had a set of chrome reverse on my 74 Ventura 350/4spd.

I'm 6' and I started with the LRS 8" and it worked perfectly. Had Mean City lower the seat and went to 6", looking for the lowest, yet functional shield. The 6" actually works very well for me, but the ol' lady liked the 8" better. Just for grins and a great sale price, tired the 7", now we're both happy.

As mentioned, the installation was simple. took all of about 10 min, and that's because I was being cautious. A couple of observations.....the LRS tint is not as dark as the Klock Werks, and the 7" LRS isn't that much higher that the KW, which I'm OK with on both accounts. I had read where the KW and the LRS are measured differently....... doesn't appear that way. I probably could use the 8" LRS but since I had to take that plastic film off I'm guessing I'm S.O.L. with exchanging it.
