Yellowstone

Last year when in the middle of May, I decided to go to Yellowstone, I called first and they told me the roads would be cleared for travel on July 1st.
I was in AZ on my trip west from N.E. OH. I ryde a 2016 RTL. Paige,AZ was snowed in too. You may want to wait a little later in the year to travel in that area. My total trip was just about 9500 miles. The Spyder was a great ryde.

Thanks, we'll call a couple of days before we go up there.

I was told to back off from the bottomed, or top most point, as that is when jarring from road surfaces will cause it to break.

The north rim of the Grand Canyon doesn't open up until sometime in June.

NHTSA deals with safety issues; this one is just an annoyance. When it breaks: it's not going to hit you... nojoke Having the windshield break loose from the bike isn't a Safety issue :banghead::banghead::banghead: ...... and your an INSURANCE salesman :banghead::banghead::banghead: ...... Than what is it ..... COSMETIC :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: .... Annnnnnnd why do you think it's not going to hit you :dontknow: :gaah: ..... jmho ....... Mike

It doesn't "Break loose" from the bike: it folds down against the upper wind deflectors that are tucked along the bottom corners of the windshield.
And when that arm broke on my 2010 RT: I had the 27" windshield in place. It wasn't even close to hitting anybody! nojoke
So why do I think that it won't hit me? Because it didn't. :thumbup:
Think I'm lying?? Pop the center strut loose from YOUR bike, and see where the windshield ends up laying...
