Hi all  cooldude,
                        While i've been waiting for my cash to arive i thought (gonna get an Interstate then) i would fix the OEM windscreen to my standard as it has been sitting around since xmas.. Easy enough.. only thing is i'm a little heavy handed.. the rubber washers that come with it.. sorta squeesed them out a bit.. so my question is have any of you replaced these rubber washers.. with anything else.. if so what and where can i get it.. Cheers

If you are talking about the rubber washers that go between the upper W/S mounts, and the 'special steel washer', they detoriate very quickly...  I went to the hardware store, and went through all the rubber washers and 'O' rings in the place, and didn't find ones the correct size...  Ended up buying rubber washers, that had smaller holes than the OEM, and used a hand held 'paper punch' to make the holes large enough for the mounting bolt, and steel washer collar to pass through...

Gotta get creative  uglystupid2  If ya don't want to pay the price for the Honda OEM's.
