Xmas pressies fitted – surprised I had to shape the Beowulf radiator cover to make it fit / miss the horn. I would have expected some instructions but never mind, got there in the end.

Calsci screen (x large) fitted, also surprised the levers (without fingers) clash with the screen by about ½" when on full lock. I guess apart from parking the bike away you never use full lock. Does anyone have the same issue?

Sat nav to fit once the longer bolts arrive for the risers. To remove the left hand panel to access the accessory power supplies, is it just the three screws I can see, plus the one in the bottom of the lockable compartment?

Cheers,

Allan

ive got this screen and when on full lock ive got approx 2 or 3 inches of clearance before my brake/ clutch levers hit, someone else put on here that when the caslci screen lowers down it rubs on the paintwork around the headlight, i dont have this issue either, 
its your risers that are the problem, calsci screen is modelled on a stock bike

Alfor

Thanks for the prompt - risers not on yet but from memory they should bring the bars back an inch or so, this might give the required clearance

I also have the calsci xlarge screen fitted and my levers also touch screen on full lock. No risers fitted. Can be a bit tricky operating steereng lock.

i dont understand why your levers are hitting the screen, mine has loads of clearance , are your bikes pre 2010?

Alfor

Mines a 2010. If I wind the lever adjusters right in they just catch. But no room for fingers  :shocked:

viper

video to show clearance at full lock

Alfor, that's very concerning, I am baffled as to why / how its preventing full lock.

Viper I'm also concerned that you appear to have two very large rabbits residing in your living room!!

It does seem strange, I've emailed heroblobs for their advice.

Only way I seem to be able to up load a video is via youtube (hopefully it works and you can see the difference between mine and vipers screen):

just measure our screen at full width, just to determine we are talking about the same screens, i THINK mine is a xl , anyway its 625mm at its widest point.

LW, yeah, the rabbits are house rabbits, fully litter trained and are great pets, we had several over the years and also have a small rabbit boarding business as a side line


viper

your screen is completely different to mine, either you aint got a calsci xl or i aint !


i got mine 2nd hand off a guy from here , so im gonna look into the screen brand and size and maybe check dimensions v their website

Alfor

Mine is 730 at the widest point. It is called a wide XL Calsci from Heroblobs.

I have had another go at the video on you tube so you should be able to see it now.

I think the bar risers will sort it.

viper

ok , ive sussed the confusion, ive got a XL screen which is 2 inch wider on each side, you have got a WIDE XL screen which is 4 inch wider on each side, you only said at the start of this post that it was a XL, so i assumed it was the same as mine,

guess you will just have to live with it , as you say how often do you actually need the full lock

Contact heroblobs and see if they will change it..

I bought the wrong Laminar Lip from them..  I had ordered the wrong size but he changed it for the smaller size for me.. was no problem to him..

Alternatively is it possible to trim it down with a router and a home made jig?
