Just install the mounting hardware loosely until you get it in position. Then tighten it all down evenly. easy job.

Well... everyone was right, the standard clear windshield will bolt right up on the 500ri...

-IF- you have the tools, the goo, and know what you're doing. I don't. I ended up with a stripped bolt. One of the 4 the holds the windshield. So, I have 3 of those and the 4 that go through the trim holding the windshield on. Hopefully,  it will hold will I drive it up to the shop for them to tell me what I have to buy to fix everything. IF they'll be able to look at the bike.

On a brighter note (yes, there is one)... it does look good on the scoot. Really good.
