Mounting small Windscreen ?
« on: February 09, 2021, 10:02:55 »
Hi,   I have a (new to me) 2004 DL1000. I bought a Moose Racing Shorty 4" windscreen and can't work out how to fit it. My fairing just has 2 small holes at the top, and the bracket kits I see don't look like they bolt there?

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Many Thanks.

The screen looks like it fits older models. Was it sold as "a fit" for yours?
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.

Other way around I think.
The switch over from fixed screen to adjustable height screen is listed as taking place in 2004 but I don't know if there were K4 models with both types, or even if a 2004 plate bike could actually be a late registered K3 bike. Here's a list of the K4 changes in case it helps.

2004 (K4) Redesigned instrument cluster. Upgrade 16-bit to 32-bit ECU, some sensors changed. New turn signals, 20 watt without reflector compared with earlier 10 watt. Belly pan redesigned. Stronger hand guards attached to end of handlebar. New adjustable windscreen design. Left handlebar switch incorporates flash-to-pass & emergency blinkers (EU models already had this). Stronger handlebars. Revised mirrors for less mirror breakage.

Either way, that cowl is from an earlier bike with a fixed height screen and that screen is for K4 onwards bikes with the adjustable height screen.

Yep, the pic shows an early bike but the screen is for a later model. Check your vin plate as you may have a late registered K2 or K3.
Old enough to know better, but still too young to care...

That is definitely a 2003 mount
