I was messing around with the Honda tall windshield over the weekend and decided to change how the MRA x-creen is mounted. I used the "bolt on" method initially. Due to the shape and the contour of the windshield, I had to bolt the x-creen several inches below the top edge, resulted in 1/3 of the x-creen over-lapping the windshield. I got tired of looking at it so I changed it up to the "clip on" method. In doing so, I had to take off the "rubber thingy" around the windshield.
So what does that thing actually do? I think happy had posted about it a long while ago, saying that it absorbs vibration and prevents cracks. Don't know how much truth is in that? By removing it, would I really vastly increase the risk of the shield cracking?
I thought the "rubber thingy" might be put in by the request of the lawyers, to prevent windshield from injuring the rider in a crash. Or maybe so the outline of the shield would be more visible so you don't accidentally bump into it and damage it.
SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL ME!!?!
