First off thank god for this site. This is my first bike so the first time I found the website I read post after post intill my eyeballs were burning. Now the question is....I bought a 17" spitfire off ebay and the only place I could make the clamps work were on the upright part of the bars because of the brake fluid reservoir and because of this the windshield has to touch the headlight. I need it to be about 2" higher and I'm starting to scratch the hell out of my bars trying every different spot. Please post any trick or tips,thank you

The windshield is supposed to touch the light to avoid flutter. Mine is close, but not touching. I mounted mine on the "vertical" part of the buckhorn bars. It is a Spitfire S-06. Be sure to cut the botom of the mounting stems off so they won't scratch the tank or impeded slow parking lot turns and dump you.
