After admiring the Zero Gravity screens I ordered one. I expected it to come with the 4 push fittings to just snap in place. It didnt. I also cant seem to remove them from the original screen. Do I need to order some? If so does anyone know the part number? Thanks.

Mounting Pin, Bodywork M0230.1AKB You might consider the Tall Windscreen Kit as well: 57739-07Y |

Dick, Here's a thread on removing the pins. www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142838/344 671.html#POST1096804 When I removed mine, I put some tape around the pin, (so not to scratch the windscreen),then with a screwdriver or fork type object, gently pry pins out. WD-40 is a good lubricant. |

Alternatively just lever then out with a swiss army knife screw-driver (it has a polished smooth tip so no scratches). Don't be too precious about them - just plastic bungs after all, and pretty tough at that. |

a little gentle heat works well too... |

Thanks for all the tips, I'm going to try them all. I ordered some new pins from my HD/Buell dealer yesterday but of course there are none to be had in Switzerland and they will take a minimum of ten days to get here from the US. |

Hey Bienhoabob, Thanks for the thread link. I did make a couple of searches but missed that one. |

Armor All or another silicone-based compound at the back of the screen where the pins fit. The pins can be GENTLY grasped with pliers and rotated/swiveled out through the front of the screen with some pressure. May seem like they won't but they will go. I bought spares awhile back but good old BadWeB came through and convinced me to try pushing them out. |

You might consider the Tall Windscreen Kit as well: 57739-07Y Like Johnboy777 mentioned, if he's referring to the lower threaded fastener kit, might be a good idea to consider it for your taller ZG shield. It's designed to keep the Buell Tall Shield from levering out of the flyscreen under wind pressure. |
