Windsheilds for Vaquero

[shivanurse]

Has anyone found better prices than dealer for Vaquero windshields?

Have not looked. Do have a great picture in my mind of the tall one on the Vaquero that I rode in MV but I can't download it here.

I believe the Vaquero has a 3 bolt windshield mount and is compatible with any Harley Electra Glide or Street Glide windshield. You can find them all over for much less than a Kaw dealer charges.

Here's where I buy my windshields: http://www.fastaire.com

Hey that's a cool website. I'm gonna contact them.. ... But actually the Vaquero has a 5 bolt sheild.

[cactusjack]

Oh, my bad. In that case, it MAY be compatible with HD Road Glide shields, but I can't say for sure.

Might be, they cloned everything else. :)

Accept the leaky engine. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

My engine has never leaked.

[cactusjack]

Neither does mine.

I like to think in the old AMF days a leaking engine was a brilliant engineering design. Perpetually fresh oil. :)

[cactusjack]

Haha, I had an old AMF Sportster when I was in the Marines. I was on my way back to Utah from El Toro after being discharged and the old drain plug fell out right on the outskirts of Las Vegas.

I had a buddy take his old 1978 BMW on a 1200 mile run. When he got home the view window for the oil level popped off and all the oil drained out.

Yes that used to happen, although not without warning. Usually when there is weeping around the site glass, it's time to replace. I bet he didn't pay attention.

As far as the vaquero windscreens, they aren't particularly expensive.

I agree, Ponch, I feel Kawasaki has their shields very reasonably priced [for a motorcycle accessory.]

I do like the additional options in height and tint this website offers, though. These cost a bit more, but you have more to choose from to fit your needs.

Cee Bailey's makes excellent screens. I changed mine, but chose a Calsci instead, but it was for what I think is a good reason. It seems that when riders change the shield to a Cee Bailey's on a RT, there is a high incidence of the struts (it has an electronic windscreen) breaking. A Cee Bailey screen on that model has an aggressive lip/bend on the top that I think causes a lot of stress on the struts due to down force. The Calsci hasn't experienced that problem, BUT, IMO, the Cee Baileys is a better quality in materials and manufacturing, just not design for my case. They make quality stuff.

That's both ugly and the wrong answer to the question.

Yah I think that is someone's bad idea of a motorcyle infomercial product

[jestephens]
