Then take a wash off marker overhead marker pens work great and outline the location of the sticky dots on the inside of the windshield. Separate the sticky dots with a dull knife and carefully stick them to the windshield. Now press the lip onto the windshield and give it about an hour to 'set'.
It is possible to remove the sticky dots, but unless you are REAL careful, the sticky will be destroyed in the process. Good luck and happy riding Art. What's the thing in the photo that runs between each of the round attachment points? My lip doesn't have that long strip that appears to run between each attachment point. That strip is a label with Lamar Lip written on it.. Not sure why yours doesn't have it, but it is only cosmetic. I had mounted mine as high as you have yours, but at my height the distortion was effecting my ability to see hazards in the short distance.
By the way, if you need some more stick on reflectors, I bought a stack of 3M Diamond circles from Wal-Mart on clearance - I've got red and white they didn't have blue or my helmet would look really neat! The typical motorcycle pre-crash lines-of-sight to the traffic hazard portray no contribution of the limits of peripheral vision; more than three-fourths of all accident hazards are within 45deg of either side of straight ahead NO lights are on on the picture below.
Lip Service A comparable solution Givi makes a windshield for the I just ordered it yesterday Just a thought!! Took the emails concerning the hammer sound to my dealer Page 1 of 2 1 2 Last Jump to page:. Replies: 13 Last Post: , PM. Replies: 2 Last Post: , PM. I then lightly placed another strip of tape directly onto the windshield marking the lower edge of the 3M Dual Lock fastener on each side.
With these in place I could make any last changes so as to center the LIP side to side without losing my height position.
I then made a pencil mark in line with the edges of the Dual Lock. It was then simply a matter of cleaning the windshield surface with alcohol wipes, allowing it to dry, peeling off the backing on the Dual Lock while still attached to the LIP and pressing into place.
The manufacturer claims that it takes 24 hours for the adhesive to set up, so I suggest that you refrain from trying it out immediately. The air and surface temps also need to be greater than 70 degrees Fahrenheit during installation. This is designed to be placed in the center of the windshield to support the LIP. This spacer is a hot topic on the LT website since it is grey in color. Whether or not you need a spacer will depend on your application. The product appears to be well made, the optics are crystal clear and have remained so over time.
The swirling patterns that develop on the backside of the LIP in the rain are entertaining though. This is an unsolicited testimonial. After spending time searching and reading various online sites about taller windshields, or other solutions, on my Quest For Quiet, I finally ran across a mention of the Laminar Lip.
Upon further online investigative reading they work for some and not so much for others- depending on the bike and the opinion of the user. Delivery time in receiving the Lip was a week, in my experience. I clamped the Lip on and test rode. Let me explain: with a cleaned windshield. I protected all plastic involved with what is known in sign shops as Application Tape. App Tape is way easier to apply and remove than masking tape.
I used those orange handled spring clamps to position the Lip at various heights and went for a ride at each position. Also, Laminar will provide you with a set of nylon bolts, nuts and washers if you decide to drill and mount the Lip in that manner. I asked them to provide the set when I ordered, just in case. Good enough for me. As one element of protected riding, I always wear ear plugs just the soft foamy kind to help with noise abatement. By the way, for you Majesty owners, my stock windshield with the Lip measures out to a Instead of a taller after market windshield, which are acrylic and not the way tougher OEM polycarbonate ones , consider trying a Lip, taller Majesty owner.
You might be surprised with the less noisy buffeting results. My Quest For Quiet on the Majesty is pretty well resolved. It stopped freeways being an endurance exercise and riding them is actually enjoyable now. However there is no situation where I feel unpleasantly buffeted. Laminar Lip staff provided very good customer service for me, too. Sign Up Today Get all the best motorcycle news, reviews and deals delivered to your inbox weekly.
Laminar Lip to Reduce Turbulence? The Laminar Lip redirects air flow over top of windscreen to reduce buffeting and noise. It is both annoying and tiresome.
I can attest to this claim since installing one on my bike. After deciding where I wanted to locate LIP, I used a strip of masking tape on either side to temporarily hold it in place against the windshield.
