Mine fell under the vin group and I put on a manual one before going through all the crap at dealer.... put it on and forget about any problems... Lots of chat on this!
I don’t believe that “most people” put in a manual tensioner.

Just returned from a week long trip all around the Gap and Cherahola skyway region and all around Fontana.... just amazing! Gods gift to all road bikers! A big thank you to Ben at Wheelers performance on M129 between Tapoco and Robinsville. I had a puncture in my rear tire that could not be fixed late Saturday night and he dropped what he was doing (after hrs) and put a new one on. Have shopped there before on previous trips and want to give this guy a two thumbs up! Its rare to get this kind of service these days. Thanks again Ben.

Spent more time on my seat from Terry also.... I no longer look for that pain in the ...... to start bugging me! I now know I can ride just ride and not even think about how far! Thanks Terry and Deb ! the seat is working great.

Spent a little time out with the V stream touring .... I think I really like it ! Way more deflection up and over and just enough around the chest and shoulders for me. Along with the new seat from Terrys custom seats it is really a better bike for the longer rides.... VERY happy with both of these !

By the way... your trip is on my "bucket list " to do soon. Done many 1000 mile back pack snowmobile loops in that Canadian region ... Wawa, Chapleau, Timmons, Shearchmont, Duberville, Elliott Lake any many more.

Hello Snowgoer,
I have spent 8500 miles behind the tall touring V-Stream windscreen including a Lake Superior Circle Tour trip (rained on all 4 days) and it works pretty darn good. I am 6ft, 165lbs Shoei GT Air helmet. Yes, it does look a bit tall at times, but the protection is well worth it as I could care less if it rains or not preferring function over form.
Thanks for the reply and report with yours. I read your post on your lake superior loop ( I think it was yours?) and really enjoyed it! I spend ALOT of time in and around all the UP of Michigan as I have a cabin in Wetmore (Munising technically) and I think you stayed in that area on your trip. I am big into snowmobiling and the region has the best snow around. Anyway... I installed the windscreen tonight and It looks great and fit is excellent . Will try it out likely this week just to see, I am sure it will be just what I need. One thing I did notice is there web site says there touring shield is 17.25" from top of tank to top of shield ... I measure 19.25? and yes the shield adjustment is at its lowest setting?

Well, after much reading and making the best decision I can this point I have just ordered the V-stream touring for the fj. It has been great to read all the good and bad of all the options out there along with the pics so Ill report back asap on what I find. Should be here tomorrow and will install but just looking for a chance to try it out some.... we are still dealing with cold temps and weather but have no issue taking a spin. Again thanks for everyone input and points mentioned.
