windshiled search - instrument cowl

[zoomone]

Hello all,
Finaly got my max back from the shop, runing great!
I am looking for a light tinted windshield, I beleive they call it a "boulevard instrument cowl" Does anybody know where I can get one of these? I beleive is the OEM but if I go to star motorcycles I only find the un-tinted one, any ideas? National cycle has a tinted one but I think it looks smaller. Thanks for the help guys!

The pictures on yamaha's site doesn't show it but it does have a light smoke tint to it as it comes from the factory.

The second pic you posted is of a Givi Airstars, and it is what I have on Redbone. It's a little bigger than the factory unit. You can get it from Twisted Throttle for $118.80.

I miss mine sooooo bad! I've been riding without one since my crash. And I want another one sooo bad! Over 70, It's a totally different ride without it.

:tantrum:

Rob,

in the meantime, I have a spare shield on the spare bike - it's a little higher than the usual fly screen but you're welcome to it until you get what you really want back.

Lemme know if you want it - I'm going to Trampa on Sunday.

Thanks for the responses guys.
I'm leaning towards the one Brian has on Redbone, seems that in fact it is a little bigger it might just do the trick. Do you know if it comes with the hardware? I sent an e-mail to them but it takes a few days to get an answer. thanks again!

Thanks G,
But I already ordered one from Mondak. It should be here before Leesburg Bikefest.
Besides I haven't been riding as fast as normal since my crash. I guess my psyche hasn't healed as fast as my knee. Or it could be because that $160 ticket I just paid has really been a deterrent. LOL!

No prob. When's that bikefest? I might join you there, even ride with you!

It comes with all the hardware needed. The givi has mounting "ears" fit on the turnsignal stalk. There is a nub on the cover/ support that the turnsignals bolt into that the givi wind screen fits onto to fix it into place. I had to do a bit of reforming on the mounting ears to get them to match up to the correct place on the turn signal stalk. Once you get it fit properly it stays in place and works well. I'm 6' , the seat is lowered 2" and the wind is off my chest and hits mid visor at most normal speeds.

I have the same one. It has the ears that fit on the turn signals and holds up great.
I don`t know what I would without it as I live in dairy land (So. Ontario, Ca.) and flys in the masses are something that we just have to put up with :bang head:so, without it my bike would be a total mess.
I`m lucky that it came on the bike when I bought it.:clapping:

It's The 24th-26th. I'm going up Friday and camping at the Abate Campground for the weekend. As soon as Iain finishes a ride route we are planning on doing for Saturday, I'll post up info.
