Blue Ridge/ X-creen Pictures and Tips!

Some pictures of the BR with X-creen.
I like the contours and looks of the Blue Ridge windshield BUT its a shame they didn't make a version 2" Higher and a 3rd model 4" higher because that would have satisfied a awful lot of people without needing the X-creen?

A couple tips-
Glue (of your Choice) the 6 rubber washers to the 3 different mounting surfaces BEFORE you mount the windshield because if you get half way through and a rubber washer falls down- Oh Crap???

Have a 8mm small closed end wrench to hold the nuts behind the windshield while you tighten from the front.

Its also helps to round out the 6 mounting holes on the windshield a "little" with you drill because it will ease installation.


If you do not get the Half C shape washers that go between the 2 support arms and the lower frame you can get a couple large rubber washers at Lowe's and cut the perimeter down to size.


It works fine and I felt it was the Best of the 3 Options but your experience may vary?

Looks like you drilled and bolted your xcreen to the windshield. I thought I read they had a clamp on version of this shield?

They do have a clamp on But its about $30 more expensive and from the reviews I trusted it would work.
The X-creen is Great because if your going back roads on a hot day you can lower it and Put it up for Highway Cruising.
