fly sceen

[joeyantalas]

anybody ever notice this or have problems with the gauge cluster plug. when i installed the triumph flyscreen you remove the back of the gauge cluster, held on by two pins into rubber plugs, now without that cover your gauges can now move up and down a lot more. in other words the back cover helps hold the gauges in place. between the extra movement of the gauges and the flexing of the flysceen its causing my gauge plug to work loose, even though it's plugged in till it clicks into place. am i missing some parts from the kit or is the extra wiggle normal? thanks in advance for any feedback.

It shouldn't move that much . Make sure the all the bolts on the back of the instrument cluster are nice and tight (don't go nuts though).
My guess would be to check the bolts & nuts holding the headlight / instument bracket to the frame. Try & see if the headlights move excessively up and down. If so, tighten these bolts/nuts. If they can't be tightened any further and the headlights still move heaps,the rubber bushes around these bolts probably have sightly perished. You may need to replace them or you could do what I ended up doing and that was to put an extra washer under the nuts to give you a little extra thread to allow it to be nipped up tighter.
Hope this may help.

I got the Street Triple hat, which only mates up properly with two of the mounting plate bolt holes, not three. That said, I haven't had any movement out of it. Did you reuse that one odd screw on the bottom right side (bike's right)? The Street hat needs that, at least, and it was a little funky getting it back correctly, but once everything's done up with the hat's mounting plate, it sets pretty solidly.

I don't know, maybe the Speed hat kit is different.
