yama touring shield

[boogie]

after reading all I could find on schields, it seems the best deal and function for a gen 2 08 and me at 6'1'' is the factory touring schield and if that is not enough, put on a Lam lip for the wife. Both would be slightly cheaper than the cee baily or v-stream alone. Good idea????

I hope so. Mine should be in this week. Hope to give it a try this weekend.

I have the Touring shield and love it, all the way down I get a smooth flow of air around my helmet and shoulders and when I raise it a couple of inches the air flow barely touches the top of my helmet.

I am 6'4".

I also ordered the Yamaha shield and hoping it works for me. I ordered it from an American Dealer (I'm from Canada) as I will be down there in a week or so. Saved-get this-over $200. I don't mind paying local dealers a little more up here but had to draw line on that one. $359 verses $109. I don't get it.

Question for DougW. Do you have seat in upper position? I'm assuming you have Gen II. Of course you do.

I spent 3 months in Nova Scotia and could not believe the price of truck parts and some were made in Canada. I think there is a pricing crime spree going on there. Loved everything else though.

I just put one on and my wife loves the fact that now shes out of the air stream..but since I'm 5'11 to get the air flow good for her I have to look through the screen :angry: Its quiter in all positions for me which I do apreciate, just wish I could keep it lower.

I'm also interested in the Yamaha Touring shield, especially for the price, but I've been looking at the California Scientific shield as well.

Does anyone have any info on these shields and how they compair to the Yamaha Touring shield?

I bought the Yamaha Touring shield as well and like it. I am not sold on it though as I think that my torso is too tall so it is really nice if I dip my head an inch or two into my shoulders. That is not very comfortable. Do you think this "lip" thing will help? What is it?

Does anyone have the part number for the touring windshield?

 

[madpage]

I believe this is the part number:

ABA-2D203-10-00 - Yamaha Touring Windshield

I bought it for my 08 and returned it. I'm 5'9" so with it all up it was right in my line of sight. With it lowered by about 2 inches it was the same as the stock in the full up position which I would over anyway.

Tried to order one today but they're on back order.. :angry: I'm cheap and the price seems fair..

I have also ordered one. It seems that Yamaha has fallen behind the 8-Ball because everyone is stating "back ordered". The dealer I ordered from says they should be in by the end of April and delivered within the first week of May. It'll be worth the wait. I'm 6'4" and I get beat to death with the stock OEM windshield. The price of $82+ shipping seems really fair since I paid almost $300 for a larger shield for my Suzuki Burgman 650.

I like the V-Stream for winter, stocker for fall & spring and a cut down stock version for summer. I have 4 windshields all together. My Cee Bailey's 4+2, dark tint I'll probably sell at some point. Too dark for night and early morning riding.
