Is there a three pocket windshield pouch made to fit the Interstate?
If not a specific one, has anyone found one that happens to work well?

I'm pretty sure there is not one made to fit.
I think I have seen one or two at rallies, but they have been cobbled on somehow.
I would think a three pocket of near the correct length could be glued or tied to a stiffener (sheet of flexable vinyl or something), then the stiffener stuffed down in between the shield and fairing. But, the IS shield only extends down into the fairing one half inch; maybe the stiffener could be sistered over the windshield screws. Of course a three pocket could be glued right to the inside of shield, but would look like crud on the outside.... and three small holes could be drilled thru the shield to secure one.
My big pocket tank bib is good enough on one IS, but I have to use clothing pockets on the other IS.

This is the 3-pouches that came on my 98 Tourer. They have a 3-4 inch tall piece of windshield material as a spacer between the shield and shield brackets.  |

I typed in the following and got a lot of responses.
There is one made for the Valkyrie, anyway there was about 15 years ago.
Google search is a great item to search for things.

I have the three pocket set pictured above on my '98 Tourer. The first owner put them on, but he now tells me they are no longer available. The center bag must be small to keep your instruments visible...

Just got home. I recently ordered and installed a new Clearview shield. It's nice 2 inches shorter than stock with a vent.
Not once thought about the pouches the vent and the center pouch use the same space. Darn I use those pouches more
than I realized. Almost cut the center pouch out I think the ends will fit. Had the shields in my living room for a week or two.
Made a pattern to locate the 2 that's when the weather changed. I've logged 3k miles without the pouches.
The butcher job was and is on hold.

I have a set of HD pouches. They fit the contour of my Tourer shield. Put them on my batwing but had to drill new holes. $100 tho.

No one makes one for the Interstate. No one ever has that I'm aware of. J&M used to make them for the Tourer windshield, but like so many other aftermarket items for our Valks, they are no more....and finding a used one for sale is next to impossible. I'd suggest that you contact Talisman and ask about having them making you one. They do custom work I think....AND, they're a site sponsor that helps to keep the lights on here. http://www.saddlebagsbytalisman.com/ |

This is the 3-pouches that came on my 98 Tourer. They have a 3-4 inch tall piece of windshield material as a spacer between the shield and shield brackets. There is a tag in one pouch it's made by J & M Corp. Google is the operating system of my Droid it's more difficult for me to get pictures to my PC. |

I got the one on my I/S from a place called-Antioch Leather in Antioch Il. It is a universal fits all pouch. My brother fabbed up some brackets that fit down into the I/S windshield and he picked up two of the W/S bolts to hold the bracket and the pouch. I have 2 sided tape holding it to the W/S at the top of the pouch so whatever goes in the pouch won't pull it back towards me. My wallet will fit in either of the outside pouches and while a pair of oversized sunglasses will fit in the center pouch I use the center pouch for my smart phone. With the sale price and a Military discount it was right at $50.00. Made of heavy vinyl and Velcro closures. What I am now tryin to figure is-WHAT in the hell did I do before I got my W/S pouch??  Especially handy when running toll roads!  And B T W-I see the gages just fine on my I'S with the added benefit that at certain angles it shades the speedo/tach when it's bright sun shiny out.  RIDE SAFE. |

If you have saddle bag rails, you may want to consider rail bags. Hopnel made them specifically for the Valkyrie. I picked up a set on ebay last year. I don't currently see any available for sale, but they do come up from time to time. They are a convenient place to put small items with easy access. Totally different than windshield pouch, but same function.  |
