tripleb Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hello all, as I mentioned the other day on my first post on this forum, I purchased a new 2017 FJ-09. Well the weekend is officially over, and I was lucky enough to log about 140 miles on my new ride, and I can honestly say the windshield is absolutely Worthless!!!!!!! The noise is unbearable. So this is where I'm asking some of you for your help in recommending a windshield that is extremely shorter In design. I'm looking for something just big enough to cover the instrument panel, and that's it! I'm looking for a nice quality that fits the way it's suppose to fit, and not interfere with the hand guards. I hope someone can point me in the right direction. PS: My last ride was a Harley Switchback, and I sure was missing my hard saddlebags this past weekend. I'm literally counting down the days until my local Yamaha dealer calls, and informs me my new bags are instock and waiting to be picked up.

Premium Member fanowater Posted April 17, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted April 17, 2017 What about the wind noise, will this new screen be considerably quieter ? Everything will depend on you: Your torso height, arm length and windshield preferences. I have a long torso and very short legs and only want the air blocked off the center of my torso. I don't want to be behind a big screen that blocks it all (much too hot hear in summer). So for me, short and narrow are ideal. I added the deflector to split the wind blast off the top. Now some hits the helmet and some goes over the top.Good luck 2015 FJ-09 2006 Triumph Daytona 675 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suncoaster Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Cut down and paint the rear of the stock windshield. (I also have a Givi touring screen for the cooler months.) https://fj-09.org/post/51810/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member alejandro Posted April 18, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted April 18, 2017 I agree that the stock screen is awful. If I wanted a shorty, I might try to cut down the stock screen. It's not like there's going to be a market for original screens... As far as the bags go...have you considered getting the Yamaha mounting hardware and then getting some used FJR cases? Bigger, cheaper. Or you could get Shad (which I have) or Givi, which would give you more options, added functionality, and perhaps be cheaper.

tripleb Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thanks for the info on the bags, but I already ordered a set of factory bags with hardware the day I purchased my FJ-09, along with a rear fender illuminator kit, as well as the Blaster kit for the tail lights.

Side note, they do have a policy that if somebody orders 3 or more shields they get some percentage off (15% or something??). Might be a group buy opportunity in it.
