If I worked for an aftermarket shield manufacturer, I'd have these available with each R1200R shield, only adjustable (and prettier - say Biarritz Blue!)

Probably isn't the demand though, there's not all that many of us out there.

I will, however, make them available for $124.99... ;) Hope you don't mind vise marks!

That's brilliant! I have a problem with "thinking outside the box" and I've wanted to find a way to tip the sport screen back for so long. Granted, I haven't put much effort into it, but I was always thinking of ways to modify the mounting bracket. I never considered modifying the "mount" of the mounting bracket before. Sheesh, I gotta pull my head outta my arse.

I'd like to take credit, but I am one of many plagiarizers (sp?).

I will take credit for the zip-tie holes and the 10mm socket head bolts, they are good ideas. To my tiny mind, anyway.

It does work great, though!
