This is the SS-30 Quick Release mount system. It came out with the system in 2015 and we use it on all of our at SS-30 series windshields which includes the SS-30 Custom Classic the SS-32 Falcon and the SS-34 Phantom.
Included in the kit:
Long strap
right and left short straps
2 pivot brackets
2 male fork tube clamps
2 Female fork tube clamps
2 thick gaskets
2 thin gaskets
4 quick release knobs
4 shoulder nuts
4 rubber washers
8 7/8 inch bolts
1 ¾ inch bolt
5 acorn nuts
5 flat washers
Take the long strap and line it up with hole #2. Take the ¾ quarter inch bolt and put it through the front then fix it on the back with a flat washer and an acorn nut. Do not tighten it yet.
Take the short strap and put it on the front, put one in the 7/8 inch bolts through the short strap, through the long strap, and through the rubber grommet. Do the same thing with the bottom hole then again on the other side.
Get the strap on the front, turn the shield around, align the pivot bracket with the little L on the pivot bracket pointing towards the center of the shield. Put an acorn nut to tighten the pivot bracket on but do not over tighten at his time Do the same with the other pivot bracket making sure that the short end is pointing towards the center of the shield.
Standard fork set up fits 35 to 41mm straight forks. Oversized setup fits 45-54mm straight forks. We make our tapered set up to fit a tapered fork which is quite popular in the Kawasaki Vulcan series, the Honda shadow series and the Yamaha v-star series. They measure at the top 2 1/8 diameter and at the bottom of the taper, it's 2 5/8.
The first thing we’re going to do is put the rubber spacer around the fork tube. We have a thick and a thin spacer. This application with the oversized fork will be used in the thin spacer, wrapped around the fork tube. In this case put it about at ¾ inch from the top.
Once the rubber is put into place, take the clamp and put in the female clamp on the backside with the slots and the male clamp with the hooks on the side. The flat side of the clamp should be on the outside of the fork tube.
The clamp interlocks behind the fork tube and pulls together in the front. All fork tubes are a little bit different so there’s a good chance the holes aren’t gonna line up when you pull it together because of air in the clamp and just because of different fork widths and diameters.
Now metal has a memory so I suggest for some people, especially with the tapered, once you get it lined up to put a bolt through and tighten it all the way up and then let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. Once that’s done you can unloosen everything and the metal should have its memory set so it’s much easier for the installation but in this situation we’re not going to do that. We’ll just crank it up.
Once it’s cranked up you’ll put the top bolt through and you’ll take the shoulder nut and screw it with the shoulder facing away from the center of the bike. Repeat that process on the bottom. The center holes, in this case will not be used. They’re for a different setup. So once those are put in place then you put the rubber washer on the outside to protect.
Now that we got this clamp done on this side, do the same thing on the other side.
Now that we got the clamps parallel with the outside of the fork, it’s time to tighten up the bolts. In this case start with the top one, put a wrench behind there and just tighten it all the way up until you can’t put it anymore and do the bottom one. On the other side do the same thing.
Make sure that the shield is centered around the headlight. If it’s not, this is the time to make adjustments with the fork clamps either in or out to make sure that there is an equal spacing.
The 1st position set up starts on the lower closest notch to the windshield. From that position you’ve got 5 adjoining points in which you can change the pivot. Make sure to only use the lower pivot point A or the upper pivot point 5 or you could damage your mounting hardware. Pivot point A works with pivot points 1-5 and pivot point 5 works with pivot points A-9.
What this basically accomplishes is it pushes the shield 2 inches further away from the rider to avoid any speed or tech interference. Now that everything’s been arranged, aligned and tightened, it’s time to ride.
A little preventative maintenance: Fasteners can loosen over time so be sure whenever you fill your tank of gas, just double check the knobs, make sure they’re tight. If they tend to loosen you can use a little lock tie or some other thread lock formula just to make sure they stay in place.
Have a good time. Enjoy the ride!
