My VR stock windshield is too good for summertime in Oklahoma. I get very little air on my face. I have been riding the beast "naked" since the engine went back in and the air flow over the dash panel is very smooth and strikes me about the chin (same as my ZX11). I want to try a very short windshield and need someone's old one to cut down. Anybody have an old Gen 1 windshield?

Recently discovered this site. So helpful! I just a few days with the help of other members I was able to locate a rack as to mount a trunk on my 2005 RSTD. As well as a luggage rack for my OEM backrest. I obtained helpful info on back strain and the "Flanders" Handle bars. The windshield on my used bike was evidently a tall wide one 22 inches or more, I did not like it, so the dealer installed a much shorter one, now too short. Does anyone perhaps have a OEM windshield? or a custom windshield in the 16-17" range? Thanks....

This was in today's paper about a local guy doing custom laser etched and illuminated motorcycle windshields. http://www.jsonline.com/business/94886274.html http://www.illumatek.com/ I don't know if he can or will do a Venture windshield and I would not pay that kind of cash right now but it is still really cool.

I am thinking of putting a shorter windshield on our 08. I am sure that some of you have already done this modification. So my questions are. How short is your windshield ? If you ride two up, how does the shorter windshield effect your passenger ? Any other advise will be considered.

Thinking about getting one for my 05 RSTD, but of course they don't list a mounting bracket for this bike. Does anybody know if any of the other models will connect to the stock windshield quick disconnect mounts? Didn't know if maybe the Roadstar or Vstar brackets might work. -

Ok guys, first off my search-fu is weak. While there are multiple threads about removing the stock windshield (i'd like to get a blacked out 10" one for the summer months) I can't seem to find a step by step instruction on it. Would someone please point me in the right direction to an appropriate post, hopefully with pictures? Thanks in advance! Csogbk

Well, I got my new windshield last week from F4 with the goldwing vent. Since then I've ridden when it was around 50 degrees and over 80 degrees, {a day apart so I didn't have to wait}. I was happy with the protection the 4 inch wider shield provided and it seemed I could hear the stereo better at highway speeds. When you open the vent you get a good rush of air at chest level. You can adjust the opening to whatever you like. I had them mount the vent 3 1/4 inch above the slot in the bottom of shield {you have to have the chrome strip off to see this} and it ended up being about 1/2 inch above the dash so you could probably lower it more if you wanted. This was on a standard OEM height shield. Nice not to see a fog when the sun shines.

This afternoon, my wife and I were riding at approximately 50 mph in the Ocala, FL National Forest when I saw the windshield of my '01 RSV quickly leaving the bike. I was able to tuck my chin and the windshield struck my shoulders and helmet driving my head into my wife's face. Thankfully, she has a full face shield that doesn't flip up. I grabbed for her leg as if I was going to keep her from falling (lol) and we pulled over. After confirming we were OK, we turned around and found the destroyed windshield. The attachment points looked OK. We returned home and I got on this site and found that many bikes have had cracking on the attachment tabs. Thinking that was it, I took off the chrome piece and the tabs look brand new. I guess the 6 screws could have been loose. I bought this bike used last year and have put on about 3,000 miles and the fairing has not been apart that I know of. Any thoughts on how this could have happened and where to buy a replacement w/s, Thanks in advance. -
I am need of some help. I have finally got my parts but I am having problems putting my windshield back on. The book don't show how to put it back on. I don't even know if I have all the parts. I have two brackets with rubber on one end and then 2 bolt holes on the other that has what I would call guide pins that the bolts go through. It looks to me like they go down at the bottom in front but I don't know if the rubber goes up or down. Then I cant figure out how to bolt the rest of it up. I can see 2 bolt holes up at the top by the mirrors but I don't know if there is supposed to be a bracket that goes between the windshield and the frame. Next I have a bracket left over that I don't know where goes. Mine is green and looks kind of like a butterfly. There is four bolt holes one on each corner and then 2 bolts that look to be pressed in coming up through the middle. The old one has plastic broken off still attached like it would go to a fender or something like that.

Has anyone attempted to mount a stereo system on an OEM windshield? I looked at the sites for the fairings and batwings and it appears I would be out a couple thousand dollars just to get some tunes. I was looking at the space above the instrument cluster and it got me to thinking... -
A friend of mine that has a HD, I hate to admit that... He has a chrome strip like on the Ventures at the windshield and there are LED lights that are built in does anyone know if something like that can be purchase for a Venture... I did not get a picture of them....

The only thing I do not like about my new (to me) 2006 RSTD is the very high windshield. I have always set my shields up so my line of sight is about 2 inches above the plexiglass for an undistorted view. This windshield seems about 5 inches too high for my 5 foot 9 inch frame. Have any of you folks cut down the stock shield? I also found out Yamaha makes a direct replacement unit that is 7 inches shorter....anybody have any experiance with the shorter shield?

I just ordered a Clearview XXL clear w/vent for '00 RSV. I looked on another post that showed how to remove windshield. Seems pretty straight forward. I was just wondering if its acually as easy as it looks. Thanks, can't wait to get the new shield.

Just ordered a Clearview XL, tinted windshield with vents. After seeing all the Ventures with this shield on at the last MD I just had to take the plunge. And they are giving a 10% discount on new shield orders.

I've got a Garmin nuvi 255w gps. I have the ball mount for use in the car. What I need is a handle bar mount for my RSV. Can't find any thing at garmin.com. Where should I be looking for a mount? I did stick it to the windshield with the suction cup, but it fell off at hwy speeds and scared the s--t out of me. I grabed it before it fell off the tank and gave it to the wife..

I thought I would post it here first. Parting out an '86 VR 1300. I have almost all the plastic. Some needs to be repaired. Have everything for a complete rebuild. Black and gold. Both saddle bags, bottoms and lids, trunk, purple color from '89 VR. All front fairing parts plus vents. Windshield stock height and in good condition. All braces for fairing. Let me know by PM and I will answer all with what I have. Chuckles
