Looking for a replacement windshield and would like to go with polycarbonate.
Wanted to ask the hive if there is a Mini III in polycarbonate, or another similar style windshield.

Try the shop in FL's own St. Augustine, Gustaffson Plastics. http://bikescreen.com/collections/yamaha/V-Max

Called, Gustaffson Plastics today. They only work in acrylic. Was told that National Cycle is the only one that he knows of that does polycarbonate. Call National, they only offer their poly-shields for big cruiser bikes 25"+.

Ed Roth used a pizza oven to make this bubble, hand-formed.

Another Roth bubble-top, dig those scallops! He was way-ahead of his time. Maybe something to try? Perhaps a plaster mold to a stocker, and then some careful oven heating w/a sheet of lexan?

I honestly thought of it.
Just won't have time to do it before Thunder. Still have some upgrades and 'once overs' to do before I leave.
Seeing that if I want it I'll have to do it myself, I may do it after I get back.
