  first of all I know trailering a bike is a bad thing however circumstanstanes beyond my control required it. I’ve trained bikes a lot with know issue but this time I screwed up and the Valk fell over. Fortunately the damage was mininimal but now I need a new mirror and Interstate windshield. Where would the best place be to start looking for a new windshield?

There are a couple of windscreens available on the classifieds.

Sorry,
Bad intel, looks they are for Standard and Tourer....

Thanks Jess, I’ll have to call them tomorrow. Wish they had more pics of the different shields on an Interstate. I really liked the one I had and want to match it as close as possible. Has anybody used that light grey tint they have, I look through my shield but was wondering about a little tint.

[Jess from VA]

I have new Clearviews on both my Interstates.  I got clear, but believe the slight tint one they offer is mostly unnoticeable in daylight and is mainly to cut headlight glare at night. Have no idea if it helps with the gas cap glare in daylight.

I got the 5 inch wider, 2.5" per side because both my OE shields had the OE aftermarket wings on them, and I got std height (15.5", with only a half inch under the chrome bezel to mount) for my Bigboy seat bike, and one inch under stock on my Lowboy seat bike.  The wider shields don't look wrong on the bike, mount the same, just are wider on each side.

I don't like looking through my shields (all the time); I get a height that comes between my chin and nose, and just look over the top while sitting comfortably.  This way, I can slouch down and get behind them when I need to in rain, dirt, hail, yellow jackets, and mud, but easily see over most of the time.  

Remember that many people swapping (OLD) IS shields have had all or some of the four mount anchors in the fairing turning and unremovable, except by yanking them out (and then gluing them back in with epoxy/JB weld).  Do not keep turning them or you will auger the holes out to too large a size, just yank them straight out.  In anticipation of this, I had ordered four new anchors (for each bike), and the little tiny screws too.  Some got used.

Here's a nice how too video (different shield maker).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Lkqvw6f1Hs

Yes I plan on getting all new brass anchors and screws. I’ve had them out and reglued them several times now and a few of them are broken so I think it’s time to replace them. My current shield is 19.5” high and extends 2.5” beyond the chrome trim. I’ve been looking through the shield since I got it and it does eliminate a lot of wind buffeting.

Well all the new parts are ordered, just under $500.00 Canadian so I guess I,m lucky. Had it damaged the custom paint work it could have been much more expensive.

I've cut my windshield down on my GW and Valk, so I would be looking over the shield, not through it. Both have been after markets ones, and where wider. I have found all shielded me fine from buffeting and kept me dry behind it, in our beautiful PNW "sun shine".
