MidlifeVenture Posted October 13, 2014 #1 Posted October 13, 2014 I have contacted Bagged shield to get info on how the measurements are taken this was there response. If you take off the chrome windshield trim piece you will see a rectangular cut out in the center of the windshield. Our Venture shields are measured from the top of this cut out to the top of the shield. Hopefully this helps. Let me know if you have any questions. Can anyone tell me what the measurement from the chrome piece to the top of the dark and top of the clear? I don't want to pull the chrome just to measure. My stock measures 16 7/8 from the chrome so I am assuming the 16 1/2 is shorter then stock wich is what I want I would like to know if I will be able to see over the top though. Would then be able to estimate the shorter one to see what one would be better for me.
Seaking Posted October 13, 2014 #2 Posted October 13, 2014 'Tis but two bolts holding down the chrome peice and easy to remove.. probably took you longer to type out your query than it would have been to remove the chrome peice and putting it back on to find out the measurement..
MidlifeVenture Posted October 13, 2014 Author #3 Posted October 13, 2014 I have read how easy it breaks and did not want to mess with it more then once.
2WHEELSFORME Posted October 13, 2014 #4 Posted October 13, 2014 Just a hint I found out: I have the medium after market shield and it was right on line with my field of view. Terrible position. I installed the leveling links which raised the back of the bike the perfect amount that I now look just over the shield which I prefer and understand is recommended. Nice to have a choice with out cutting the plastic. I'm guessing you could install the smaller front tire if your short legged and it would have the same results.
MidlifeVenture Posted October 13, 2014 Author #5 Posted October 13, 2014 I'm 6'3" I need the hight I am comfortable on the bike which is why I chose it over a HD I just want to be able to see over the window when it foggs up but yet when the wife is on the throne she does not get buffeted. I would ride most of the summer with the short shied.
Oldodge Posted October 13, 2014 #6 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Hard to see in pic but 9.75" to top of dark and 15.5" to top of clear from top of chrome. Edited October 13, 2014 by Oldodge
ENG2242 Posted October 28, 2014 #7 Posted October 28, 2014 Consider the F4 Windshield, I really like mine. Just a suggestion.
StarFan Posted October 28, 2014 #8 Posted October 28, 2014 I bought a Baggershield and put on my previous Venture. Opted for the tallest one, 17" clear, and I look straight through it with no problems. The top line is way over my sight line. But I am not that big 5,9 - but I love that shield. Gonna get a new one for my Red Baron for sure. But note that your passenger will always have some buffeting. No way around that since the passenger sits so much higher than the rider. You can see a picture of the bike/shield on Baggershields homepage: http://www.baggershield.com/baggershield-yamaha-royal-star-venture-windshield-17-p-74.html
