Lip

I have always duct taped mine to TEST it. To save the little velcro-like pieces. Start at even height to original shield, and move upward as needed testing by riding the bike at speed. It needs to be mounted solidly so don't go all the way up, but mine are fairly high, as I'm tall. Sometimes I think I found the best spot, and weeks later need to move it again, and I mess up the velcro, so be careful.
Allen.
