Wind blocker in NA6 with style bars

Postby chrislevingston » Thu Dec 06, 2012 1:36 pm

I purchased a perspex wind blocker off the forum, and it fitted perfectly with my style bars.

However, increasing arthritis means that I no longer have the strength or dexterity to zip open or close the rear window, due to the lack of clearance between the top of them and the roof :cry:

Does anyone know if an NB wind blocker will fit if style bars are fitted?

I really miss the huge reduction in buffeting that the perspex blocker provided (I must dig it out and put it up for sale, I guess).

Hi Chris

I have a NA and recently fitted a BD roll. I didn't want to do without my trusty NB windblocker so looked up a few threads about it.

Most appeared a bit complicated, but I found by turning it around, it bolted straight in!

I have recently taken it out and bent up the brackets slightly so that I could have the flip up section up without it hitting the bar.

Works great!!

Here's a couple of pics taken before I adjusted the brackets:

Hope that helps...

Hey Chris

Just noticed you are from Adelaide. Not sure whereabouts.

I am down South at Hackham - so if you want to come down sometime & check out what I did you are quite welcome ...

Cheers

Kev.
