Mike got a Standard!!!

[_Sheffjs_]

Yee Haw my friend Mike (who some of you met at my cottage party) just got his very first street bike and I have the feeling I rub off on people when I ooze Valkyrie's greatness as he got a 97 standard (crap his is faster than mine) any who we will be riding the Brooksville area this weekend if anyone is around? Question, is there an aftermarket tourer windshield having the same shape? That is what he wants for it. Or OEM tourer windshield/hardware.  Jerry and Sherry

Congrats on the new buy. There's a windshield replacement called clear view , you can get it at clearview.com but it comes with no chrome and no hardware at all but its better quality shield. The hard part is finding the chrome that goes on the shield and the mounting hardware. Goodluck

Congrats to your friend Mike.  Like Larue said you can get replacement shields from Clearview but you the main thing you need is the hardware.  OEM is the best shield for wind/air flow so tell him to hold out for one, keep looking until he finds one.  Maybe someplace like Pinwall cycle the outfit that parts out bikes.

the  ebay link posted  by indiandave is helpful however you still need the chrome piece that goes across the windshield, it's also missing the mounting hardware, the bar that goes under the headlight and the twopieces that hold the throttle cable and the cluctch cable and secure the shield. hope that  helps

Congratulations Mike

It might work, but I would strongly suggest that he hold out for an OEM shield.  It does a much better job of wind/turbulence control because of it's shape.
