Title: Wanted: Windshied suggestions with photos
Post by: gsmetal on February 25, 2006, 05:28:13 PM
Hi

I'm thinking of adding a little fly windshield to my....uh....er...WIFE'S bike.

Any suggestions with photos or links to photos would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I put a Buell Blast windscreen on mine, not perfect but much better than nothing

I put this one on.  With low bars, it actually works pretty well at speed.

I've been looking myself...

You might want to try www.giviusa.com. They have some nice looking universal windshields. They don't list prices on the website, but they do seem to have a ton of dealers listed that will help.

Ride safe,
David.

The National Cycle line is also popular, though I think the color of the bike has a lot to do with the total look when using this flyscreen.

The dark (smoke black) version doesn't work with a red GS, but looks great on a black GS.

My 90 project came with one. I sold it to ConanLlyod, who just recently sold his GS listed in the for sale section here.

CLICK HERE (http://shop.nationalcycle.com/perl/cycle/nresults2.html?search_model=su-022) for a prefiltered GS compatible catalog.
