Baggersheild ? Help - Stroguy

[Papa Tater]

Just push with your finger on the bottom of the rubber weatherstrip upwards, until it mates with the windshield. Not unusual at all. I've had to do that on every windscreen I've put on .

Thanks - figured it will conform after awhile, seen that with car trim- etc. I will let it bake one day here in the Florida Sun.

Just got home. There is no gappage on my BS11". It's not hard to remove that fairing and just insure that the bolts are tightened evenly and are not overly tight. They don't need a lot. Would hate to see it crack if they are too tight.

I would adjust every bolt a half turn each to make sure they don't bind and cause a deformation. If it still looks weird shoot BS an email.

Getting back to my orig post - thats how it came from Baggersheild right out the box. Just the rubber gromet in the center slot, the stock plastic washer sleeve fits in perfect. Just concern that both the outer ones were missing? The factory shield does not have those, but just has single holes in 3 spots- where the Baggersheild has 3 slots. I'm guessing since its adjustable from 11" to 12.5" the gromets are used to keep it in place.

Thanks Again

I concur. If I recall I added a flat washer on top of the rubber grommet to insure even pressure.

I took it back off and going to put gromets on the outer 2 slots and as far a the shield, it may be ok and it's just the rubber trim on my fairing needs to conform to it.
It seems to be a good quality shield, thicker than stock.

thanks Again Stroguy

May do that as well, I'm always too critical on my own stuff.

Well you paid good money for it and you should be satisfied. I had no issue with my weather seal. BS should be cognizant of a patron that is not 100% satisfied and should make an attempt to help you. I am curious of the smudge in the pic with the grommet in the center hole. Did it come with that smudge or was it from you test fitting? An email to BS with the hardware question is warranted.

Guys this us my experience with Baggershield. I was asked to not post this but now another member has had problems. Besides the bubbles and the waviness is the hideous bronze color. BS says they don't manufacture bronze shields. They intimated that my pics may be doctored. Yeah , like I'm that smart. I was told if I paid return shipping and the shield was perfect for a restocking fee I might get some money back. Yeah right. Time I pay all that I'll keep it for display.Attachment 14640Attachment 14641

If any if you guys want a bronze shield I have one for sale. Cheap. Stro post your same two pics of your shield. Guys do you think my shield is bronze?

[stroguy]

Sure looks bronze to me. Here are mine in the garage not the sun. Sorry she has some bugs.

Weatherstrip looks fine.
