I still haven't safety-wired the NSU. 37K on the bike. Should I be worried?
I don't know of any proof of catastrophic damage reported. The screws are never very tight due to overtightening will crack the NSU plastic housing.
Now stop trolling!

Best of all worldsFor you guys that run windscreens, what do you like? I'm getting older and long days of slab are starting to wear on me. So much so I even started looking at the new KLR. DAMN! What am I thinking? I finally come back to reality, and am now searching for something I can add or remove when needed. I currently have on a parabellum rally, and even though I really like the looks of it, I doesn't agree with me. The air is focused right at the base of my helmet and the noise and turbulence is unforgiving. So much so I can't even see straight at 60 mph.

yea, that's what I did. I tried the $7 trash can one to see if it'd work, nope, took it off. Just won't work with my height.I've seriously looked the BC lynx fairings over and I've no doubt they're quality plus an upgrade on the lights. However, I'd be greatly disappointed if it didn't block the wind blast to my expectations. I'm still kicking myself over the $100.00 I spent on my current windscreen. Not bad mouthing parabellum, I think they're a great company, the design just wouldn't work for me.
I acquired second hand bike in pieces cheap because an NSU screw went through the clutch and primary drive, very messy. Others have had them appear when they've done an oil change with no damage.
There's a reason Suzuki eventually decided to Loctite them at the factory.
Loctite is fine, simple question, "Do you feel lucky?"

yea. sure. I had one on hand. spent like five hours scraping that stupid thing off.Only things to know about the job are:
1.) If you're lucky the clutch cover gasket will come off in one piece, if not ... it's an arduous careful scraping process to remove the remnants. Murphy's law dictates that if you buy a new gasket in advance you will not receive this fate. Prayer and sacrificial offerings may also be warranted.
I'm facing this with the Shadow right now.
hate to inform you, but I did the same thing on my street bike. at 50mph, it flung right back. didn't last me ten minutes.
Decided to give one of these a shot on my rally screen. If it doesn't work, I'll keep it around for something else down the road. Once I get it on and tested, I'll let you guys know.
I'm doing the same right now. I'm hung up on a Harley Fat Bob. There's also the Suzuki C90, but I'm not sure on height. The Fat Bob fit me perfectly.Hmmm, if this doesn't work then I may just start looking for a more suitable bike for slab work to add to the stable. Gonna have to get a bigger stable.
