I want a new windscreen
What windscreen models are available?Two board members make custom windscreens. Both have very good feedback from board members. Duke makes a 16" tall Touring shield. He also has a smaller Sport model. Mike has three models available, from 13.5" to 18" tall. ZG makes two models that fit the 250, their stock replacement model and the Double Bubble. Both come in a wide range of colors.

Modifications to the windshield in blk95's own words: "I had to cut off four original mounting tabs of plastic with a dremmel tool. It then fit right on the fairing and with a little pressure I could mark where to drill the holes for the mounting screws. I used rubber well nuts. Interestingly there are two cut outs in the shield the way it was that the levers fit into when you turn hard left or right."
How do I properly attach the windscreen to avoid breakage?It is important to put bolts in the center two holes first (loosely), then the two holes beside those, etc, until you've worked your way around the screen. Do not use any type of wrench; hand tighten only. Gradually tighten the centermost bolts a bit, then the next outer pair, and the next, until each pair of bolts is snug but not tight; the screen needs some slack to flex. If you tighten the bolts too quickly, in the wrong order, or too tightly, you risk cracking the screen. |
