Thanks! I almost got rid of her but now I'm so glad that I didn't! As far as the windshield goes, I'm not sure what kind it is. It was on her when I got it, all I know is that I like the looks of it.

That's a great looking bike, congrats !

Rhino - I have a shield on which looks the same. I bought it from Touringbutiken, www.touring.se. Good quality and fitting. They show something different on their ugly home page, so I was gladly surpriced.

Thanks R1000
Is this the one?

There is no picture, I want a straight screen, not one that is curved on the top?
Remember I have a -89

Nice bike! Nice wind screen. How's it do at directing wind over your head? I'm 6'1", and the stock windscreen directs turbulent air right at helmet height. It doesn't bounce my head around, but it's noisy as all get out. Sitting up straight puts my head in clean air and things quiet down considerably, but it's not wise to ride in that position as I can't reach the bars.

If I knew how to place a picture here I'd show you mine. Same bike, same colors, stock windscreen and a Corbin Gunfighter & Lady seat. How do you put a picture in here, anyway?

Jetson's windscreen looks like the sport/touring shield I have from Zero Gravity. It is 4 inches higher than stock. The wind hits right above my face shield. But it's just as noisy as stock.

It does bounce your head around a little, but all in all it's not too bad. I used to have the Gunfighter and Lady, but, I didn't really like the look of it. Besides it wasn't built for me so I would slide back in the seat when I would really get on it hard. Also, I was disappointed with how the old material for the seatting area lasted. They have told me that my new one is coming with much better stuff.
I can't remember exactly how I posted this pic but it wasn't hard.

If the higher screen is just as noisy guess I'll stick with stock. I agree the Corbin doesn't look as good as the stock seat, but it fits me so well and is soooo comfortable. Since the Corbin was on the bike when I got it I can't compare the two though. One of these days I'm going to pick up a stock seat and give it a try.
