To follow on from the posts above. Bracket proximity to the instrument panel was an issue with my original screen. No contact on fitting but on the road an occasional vibration as contact was made passing over bumps. Why? I doubt if it was poor design and take the view that the panel may sag with time or that movement of the panel is more than anticipated. In any case my solution was to elongate the rear bracket positioning holes and change the screen angle slightly, thus giving the required clearance. It would have been just as easy to reshape the brackets, smoothly, to alter their shape to achieve clearance, but I chose the former. The slight and imperceptible change to the screen angle made no difference to the screen performance.

In any case all the above became irrelevant as I Emailed Steve with details of the problem and a couple of photos to illustrate. I did this as information to him and I did stress that I had solved my issue and required no further action from him. Despite this Steve responded promptly, saying a set of redesigned brackets would be sent to me as soon as they became available, at no charge. Within a couple of weeks the new brackets arrived. In short, problem solved promptly, efficiently and in good spirit.

Cheers

Would you be so kind as to take a couple of pics to show us how it looks? Also, can you show us a pic of the "new" bracket as it's installed on your CB? I'm interested in this one since the feedback from others is the Street Shield is too high.

Pterodactyl, thanks for the info on this new product sir.
