raceman62race Posted January 28, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 28, 2009 I want to do some things to my 2nd gen but have questions 1. Where can I purchase a windshield with a vent or do they even make such a thing? 2. I want to replace the handle bars with a set that brings the grips back toward the rider about 2 1/2" and about 2" wider than stock. Is the throttle cable the only thing I will have to replace with a longer set? What about wiring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OB-1 Posted January 28, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 28, 2009 We have a Clearview windshield with a vent. Very nice product and we recommend them highly. We have their largest windshield and it really cuts down on the wind buffetting that my wife experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a thread where I talked about them... http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19543&highlight=rstd+bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obber Posted January 29, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 29, 2009 Try this site: http://clearviewshields.com/shop/product.php?id=65 The pic of the RSV is of mine. Had it on the bike for over 2 years. I've got the tallest one due to the fact I'm 6'5" and my co-pilot likes it also. The vent is great in summer. You get air on your mid-section. Order now. Don't wait till summer like I did and everyone is ordering one. Took over 5 weeks to get my shield. Also go down to the bottom of the page and click on the "View Available Inventory". They have some already made up ones and some blems at a discount price. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadhand Posted January 31, 2009 Share #9 Posted January 31, 2009 I like Big Shell, put TD bars on my Venture. Best thing I have done to date. Much more comfortable and I like the way it handles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YamaDuck Posted January 31, 2009 Share #11 Posted January 31, 2009 I,ve got the clearview windshield. I like it but has a defect and I have emailed them twice to ask about it and they will not answer me. I have read where a lot of people have had very good customer service with them so I don't know why they will not answer me. I would email them and see if they will talk to you before you buy from them. I don't know if their customer service is going down hill or what. If they answer then you can order from them. Also the gas cap reflects into the windshied pretty bad so you will probably need a gas cap cover. You can buy one or make one. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VentureProf Posted January 31, 2009 Share #15 Posted January 31, 2009 Not a big deal to buy the Goldwing vent and install it in the stock shield - you don't even have to take the shield off the bike if you are careful. I fashioned a template by tracing the vent and then cut the shield with a laminate bit on a spiral saw (Zip). A little cleanup work with a file and a Dremel and the vent popped right in. Love that vent on a hot day, and it also takes a little airpressure off the shield which helps reduce wind inputs to the steering just a little. Highly recommended.

Bluesman Posted February 4, 2009 Share #16 Posted February 4, 2009 You can also install a Honda Gold Wing vent in your stock windshield. Interesting. Never thought about a vent before. I like that idea. This is the first ride I have (Venture) that has a permanent 'shield' in front of you at all times. My old ride had a removable windshield which I removed for short trips. I like the feel of the wind 'blowing through my hair' and this should about compensate for it. Question though.....does a GoldWing vent fit the curves of a stock Venture screen?

raceman62race Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share #17 Posted February 5, 2009 FYI, I ordered a Clearview windshield with a vent a couple of weeks ago. I haven't gotten it yet so I thought I would give them a call. They said that they normally could send them out right away but they were out of vents. He said they were suppose to get some vents in on Monday so they would be able to install the vent and ship out on Monday. In the course of our conversation, he said they get the vents straight from Honda. So, I think it would be safe to assume that Clearview buys Goldwing vents and installs them on Venture windshields just like someone suggested earlier in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteSquid Posted February 6, 2009 Share #18 Posted February 6, 2009 Question though.....does a GoldWing vent fit the curves of a stock Venture screen? YES. there are instructions somewhere, and you can buy the kit at either a local Honda dealership or from one of the on-line places. They are not cheep, nor are they inexpensive. They are the ones that Clearview puts in their windshields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
