This is my version of Richards installation of a Daelim Daystar shield on a GV250. Neither my version nor Richards is necessarily the "right way". There really is no right way as these shields aren't meant for the GV250 but can be made to work with some modification.
NOTE: This install requires additional hardware from the Hyosung GV250 shield kit. If you decide to try this, make sure you get the appropriate parts.So, getting started you will need:
- 13MM Wrench
- 10MM Wrench
- #3 Phillips Head Screwdriver
- Coffee!
First off, apply the rubber pads that come with the Hyosung shield kit to the handle bars. Mine already had them from a previous installation.
Next, take the right bar clamp and mount it upside down on the right handlebar.
Do the same for the left side. You should be left with a setup loke the picture below:
Insert the angle bars. Install the shield struts on the shield leaving the bottom screw out and replacing the top corner nuts with the plastic hex nuts from the Hyosung shield kit. Mount the shield on the angle bars but do not tighten.
NOTE: Do not use the Daelim logo'ed vertical struts.
Take the right side strut shown and bend it about 40 degrees. In the picture below, I show one bent that is mounted, and one unbent that I am holding.
Attach the strut to the bottom mount hole of the shield with the provided screw. Take another bar clamp and mount it on the light bar with the tab of the strut place between the two ends and fasten. Do the same for the other side.
NOTE: This is a point where Richard's install and mine differ. Richard used the vertical logo'ed struts. I didn't. They were very close to the forks, so I decided not to chance scratching the chrome.Adjust the angle bars so that the shield is at an angle you like and tighten.
Tighten all bolts and your done.
Special thanks to Richard for providing the shield for this install. Please give him a visit at:
