I snapped 2 of those buggers. Theclamps are really a POS

Ifthe clamps are overtigtened OR if the windshield is not re-installed in the exact locatation of where it was previously installed, the clamps will not be seated against the forks properly and they will snap when you close them.

What I've found is that if the clamps are loosened, then the windshield re-installed, clamps closed, then tighten the screws on the clamps, they won't snap.

Only takes a few extra minutes.
