Tip650 Posted May 16, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2013 Hi All ! I am trying to find out where I can get a lower windshield for my 83 Venture std. I tried Titebike.com, no luck. Tried paplastics.com. after three emails and 2 phone calls with no response, i gave up. I like riding with the wind in my face when it is hot. I was thinking about just taking the windshield off, but that might make me look like more of a hack than I already am. I am not handy with a jig saw. Any ideas on where I could get one ? Thanks in advance. Tom O'Neil Hamilton Mass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abusive throttle cranker Posted May 16, 2013 Share #4 Posted May 16, 2013 Try Slipstreamer. They offer a selection of sizes at a reasonable price. There is another company has some but they want like $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alvald83 Posted May 16, 2013 Share #6 Posted May 16, 2013 ceebaileys.com is where i have ordered 2 short windshields. My second was just 15" and tinted..looks great! They don't list the 15"shield but it was just $10 more. Great shields at great price. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairiehammer Posted May 16, 2013 Share #7 Posted May 16, 2013 Would this work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/WINDSHIELD-FOR-HONDA-SUZUKI-YAMAHA-CRUISER-VTR-XV-V-STAR-REBEL-GV-GZ-VIRAGO-250-/400315407020?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AVenture+Royale&hash=item5d34a85aac&vxp=mtr#vi-ilComp No. That advertisement is incorrect regarding fitment for the Venture. Not even close. And as Dingy said, there is no difference in windshields for the standard or Royale. As to the PO's original question: Depending how short you want the shield, it is fairly certain that you will have to cut it down. I've done it a couple times. Masking tape, Sharpie and a moderately aggressive blade in a jigsaw running at a medium speed is your ticket. Clean up the cut edge with some sandpaper and be done. Find a cheap, cloudy windshield on eBay, cut it down and tint it with spray tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
