Clearview has one that will fit your frame. Several actually. The vent is optional. Hoser  |

Clearview makes a number of choices for replacement, as long as you have the OE hardware to mount them.

If you can get past the Clearview not circling the headlight, I think you will really like a Clearview winshield. Many heights and a vent option too. Very well made. Much thicker than the OEM which means no flexing. Optically clear as well. Great customer service. As you can tell I love the 17" I have on my standard.

I have both a Clearview and a OEM. While riding, I can't tell the difference.

I have the original Honda windshield. If you have the Honda hardware it will work. The windshield is not chipped or cracked but it is scratched and I trimmed it down by three inches.
If Mark can dig it out of storage in the shed, I might be able to ship it to you. Free if you pay shipping and for the packaging material only, with maybe a donation to the VRCC if you like it. Shipping might be expensive. Just a thought since it'll be a bear to package.
Send me an email through the VRCC if you're interested.
Wayne, Solo1

Last time I looked, I still have an original windshield in the box in my garage. You'll need the hardware, it ended up on my vented Clearview and went away when I totaled the former bike when I took out the deer. New bike has a batwing, so I might be persuaded to part with it. PM me if interested.

OEM hardware is real hard to come by now. I was looking at Mark's bike a while back. He has a real nice after market shield on his... the black valkyrie in this picture... a "switchblade" I think, it comes right off real easy...  -Mike |

If you find yourself out of luck with the OEM shield hardware, there is an alternative available, albeit possibly an expensive alternative from your neck of the woods. When I wanted a shield, OEM stuff was off the wall with their prices, and I found this place in the U.K., name of Skidmarx. They do two versions of shield for a Valk, here's the link - http://www.skidmarx.co.uk/honda/22011-honda-valkyrie-f6c-gl1500c-custom-cruiser-screen.html I got the MK8 version for my Valk. It mounts via a bracket under the headlight, and there are two stainless steel braces that run from the chrome crosspiece to the handlebars. Here's a pic of it on my Valk. You might just be able to see the braces running to the bars.  |

I recently purchased a Clearview shield, tinted.
Clearview's service and quality was excellent; their shield was noticeably thicker than the original. The added 1" is nice as is the vent which is well made and, together with the added thickness, minimizes buffeting. Also, I'm 6' with a 29" inseam so the + 3" height is nice & offsets the extra inch of height added by my Ultimate seat.
My only regret concerning the shield is that, for whatever reason, I ordered it tinted.
I'm just a sucker for bells & whistles. The tint is ok & even nice most of the time, but at dusk it lets things hide in the shadows and also negates the benefit of using yellow tint shooting glasses. I had an oncoming head on LH crash with a station wagon at dusk when I was 12 years old & riding during that time of day still gives me the heebie-jeebies.
I recommend trying a tinted shield before ordering one. For me from now on, it's gonna be clear shields & sunglasses.

$500 for the hardware used? Way more than $1,000 for the hardware, piece by piece from Honda. Until a few years ago, Hondaline had a new-shield/full-hardware package for $500... -Mike |

I switched from OEM to the Rifle oversized shield without signal light cutouts for below 50F riding. Much, much better shield, more aerodynamic and much, much better wind protection. It uses four polished stainless steel fork clamps which allow angle and up/down adjustments. For above 50F I use a memphis shades hellcat shield.
