OK I'm getting windscreen wheelies down better day by day..but these windscreen stoppies are kicking my ***.

I've got my tank dented in fairly good and have even stuck grip tape on it but everytime I go to hit that brake I feel like I'm about to slide off the front end and my damn windscreen starts to give like its gonna bust in half.

What is the secret to this....arm strength cutting or windscreen shorter? I can't slide up any further on the tank or I'll have a scott's dampner up my @ss!

thanks

you'll be fine

i thought the same thing when i started to learn mine. It feels like your gonna slide foward but you won't. Just make sure your upper plastics are secured on good, or at least that the bracket is. I do them on quite possibly the WORST bike for doing crossed up stuff on. My upper is held on by 2 screws that go into the plastic of my headlight assembly. The only other thing besides that holding it on is my fairing stay.

Just give it more brake, and she'll come up, and the bike will come to you. At first when you start to apply the brake your *** comes off the tank because the bike hasn't started coming up yet. As soon as it comes up though, the tank will come up to you and you'll be fine.

Also think about putting some padding around the edge of your windscreen. If not the backs of your knees are gonna get chaffed up real quick.

Thanks for the info ... I guess its just a matter growing the ***** to hit the brake a little harder. I'm wondering if a fairing stay would make my windscreen feel more secure. It just feels like its getting pushed down real hard by my *** and legs and it might break or something. I'll give it a try if it ever stops raining here

get your *** all the way up by the triple clamp and lean back a tiny bit. I've rolled them on a 929 and your right, it's like there's nothing there....
and lots of speed....
it sucks if u bail but speed makes it easier. about 90 in second gear feels real good.....lol

I was able to do two on my superhawk, but on the third one, my windscreen cracked in half and I went over the front. Haven't tried it yet on my RC.

Brett256

anyone know of an aftermarket fairing stay for 929s?

HiZ

Nothin on stays
you can do a custom job I have a layer of metal and 8 of glass on the bottom of my upper and its zip tied to the stay, the industrial grade 1/2" ties around the stay and the light through the ram ducts. holds my *** fine

just jack the **** you'll be good!

Zip ties are god. I reccomend zip tie'in the crap out of your front section. I got mine so solid, it feels fine doing crossed up endo's. The brake is a little hard to get used too, but you'll get it. Once it "clicks" you'll be golden.

HiZ

Golden like Chicken?

PavementEater

Yea dude, Golden with a little bit of butter on the side.

whoa, finally someone with the same problem i have.

my 929 has very flimsy on the windscreen...anyone make something to stop this?

Papa Kev

Same prob with my f4i. Have someone weld up a custom bracket or heat up & bend a 900RR bracket to fit it!

jimmyjammer

Double up the windscreen. It'll strengthen the front right up

binder929rr

when you say zip tie the hell out of it, how are you zip tying it so that it holds better? i don't see what is being tied together.

i probably will make a bracket for mine.

PavementEater

I'm talkin about my entire front section. From crashing, braking brackets from coming down on wheelies, etc. My whole front section is loose. So i drill little wholes and zip tie everything back together. So then the front is solid like new, without buying the whole ****ing all over again.

This helps me at least. you'll learn the zip tieing ways when things start falling off. I call my bike the Frankenstein.

parick of P.O.B. uses a stay off of a RC51

it works great, you might want to pm him he will help...
