Keemez Posted May 13, 2011 #1 Posted May 13, 2011 What type of windscreen is on this 1st gen? It's enormous- I want one! I much prefer very little wind buffeting. There's always plenty of airflow, even on hot days.

Black Owl Posted May 13, 2011 #2 Posted May 13, 2011 You asking for the brand name or manufacturer of the windscreen?
Keemez Posted May 13, 2011 Author #3 Posted May 13, 2011 More or less, yeah. And the item/model # if anybody's that informed.
Black Owl Posted May 13, 2011 #4 Posted May 13, 2011 It's been a while since I had to purchase a wind screen for a Royale, but if memory serves me, they only come in one size? About any wind screen supplier should have them in stock. I believe I got mine from Slip Stream. But as I said, it's been a few years.
capn eddie Posted May 13, 2011 #5 Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) clearview windshilds has one that is wider than stock there is a link on the venturerider site on lower right side. the one you want is the GT25 it is 4 inches wider. Edited May 13, 2011 by cap'n eddie
mbrood Posted May 13, 2011 #6 Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Looks like a Slipstreamer... product # S140 http://cdn-9.psndealer.com/e2/dealersite/images/ec0433/s140_400.jpg I actually really like the lexan unit from Precision Plastic Products, Inc 111 East Eighth Street Gibson City, IL 60936 Phone: (217) 784-4920 Phone: (800) 245-3774 Fax: (217) 784-8988 E-mail: sales@precisionlexan.com You can see the width and also the "break" (bend) on the outer edges that toss the wind to the side. Quite effective. http://www.bergall.org/temp/venture/precision.jpg Edited May 13, 2011 by mbrood
Keemez Posted May 13, 2011 Author #8 Posted May 13, 2011 Slipstreamer doesn't appear to have anything taller than Clearview. I'm pretty sure I've got a Clearview 22.5 on bike right now (it was replaced before I took delivery). I do see the monster one that Clearview offers, which would no doubt be bigger than what I have. F4 has nothing (that I can find) for 1st gens. Cee Bailey's has 22s and 24s (comparable to Clearview). The one in the video looks to be even wider (and taller) than the Clearview GT25. I sent the guy on youtube a message asking about it- hopefully he'll both know exactly what it is and answer me with same. Thx for any and all input in the meantime though.
