jimmyenglish Posted November 6, 2008 #1 Posted November 6, 2008 Hello everyone! Great site! I just recently purchased an 86'. The previous owner put a slip stream windshield on the bike which I find too short. Does anyone make an aftermarket windshield for this bike anymore? Or do I need to just focus on finding a used stock one? Thanks again!
Guest texasyamahamama Posted November 6, 2008 #2 Posted November 6, 2008 I bought a new one from j c whitney that was the same height as the stock windshield.
friesman Posted November 6, 2008 #3 Posted November 6, 2008 Hello everyone! Great site! I just recently purchased an 86'. The previous owner put a slip stream windshield on the bike which I find too short. Does anyone make an aftermarket windshield for this bike anymore? Or do I need to just focus on finding a used stock one? Thanks again! I had a slipstream on my 85 that was too short also, I found a compnay recommended by members on this website called Clearview that makes a larger than stock windsheild for the 1st gens. Actually I think it can be had in a few different configurations with and without vents, larger smaller wider, etc. I had an issue with my clearview's vent being installed slightly crooked and I placed a call and they took care of the issue immediately!

utadventure Posted November 6, 2008 #4 Posted November 6, 2008 I have an '86 as well and have added the largest windshield Clearview makes (with a vent) and have loved it. Even bought one for my son's '81 Silverwing, which he loves. There are other companies out there, but John is great with his service and the price is very competative. Dave
