I ran into this problem just prior to my cross country ride in 2009. I had a local mechanic insert a Heli and all is fine since. I tried to get mine replace through Y.E.S. even called Yamaha; no luck.

Check out redlunaracing. and this thread.

That looks slick! I've heard if you add some RIT die to water and boil the screen it will absorb the die color. Takes 15-30 min. depending on how much tint you want. I'm sceptical, but I do have the left over pieces, a camp stove, and an old pot. Maybe I'll test it this weekend.

Took my shorty screen to work today. What a riot! It is short enough to feel wind on my chest, which is where my jacket vents are. At highway speed there is enough pressure wave to make me rise the screen a little, but hey thats why its adjustable! What is really cool is, how it cleans up my...

My plan is to tint the shorty screen; but I'm not sure how to work that out. I'm learning that these plastic screens "outgass"; which makes tint film a non-option. I've seen some screens painted with acrylic paint. The problem there is they become opaque; not really what I was after.

Got a used shield see results there: Shorty

So I picked up a used from fellow forum memeber FredandJeannesRacer. I wanted to try cutting a screen down for summer riding. I started by making a template of the top contour of the screen and transfered it 5" lower. Since the screen is wider down there, I used a string and pen to run an arc...

PM sent.

I'm looking for a used screen for my 2006. It doesn't have to be in great shape as I'm going to cut it down and likely tint it.

@Timerwolf, I find the Sargent's a great after market seat. I'm over 6' and around 220 lbs. I had a Sargent on my Honda sport-tour and found it well worth the money. If you buy used you don't risk much, you can always resell in the forum.

@frito1, Nice to hear from a fellow tall rider that these are working out for you. I'm 6'6" and looking forward to the upgrade.

Thanks for the quick responses. @frito1, How many miles have you put on those risers?

I'm shopping for bar risers for my GenII anyone try "redlunaracing's product on ebay? redlunarracing_bar_risers My other option is the Genmar or Twisted-Throttle at +50% cost. I would like to know if anyone has tried redlunaracing and what they think.

I thought the BRP speed limits were just a recommendation ;) In the off season you can make double time on the BRP without much trouble. I've done 11 of the 15, for my FJR I like: 8. California Route 36. (I remember thinking how you need a quiver of motorcycle to ride Rt 36. It have...

Pretty cool that the case has integrated battery and GPS. If you can find a cheap iPod Touch, that would get you: GPS Music WiFi device. Still spendy though!

Nice looking build. Must be a joy for PC gaming. Have you run any 3D benchmarks yet?

I agree! The last 3rd of that video is in some heavy traffic. I'm surprised he didn't scrub off his knee caps.

Wish you and your ride a speedy recovery!

Unless you have business in a coast city (Richmond, Washington, Baltimore) I would stay west of US-81. If you take the Blue Ridge, and you should, consider cutting more North out of Roanoke and getting into the Monongahela Forest in WV. Lots of great roads in that area WV-220, WV-92, WV-55. Just...

Cherohala Skyway and the Blue Ridge Parkway. If you are running South to North hit the Cherohala Skyway to the Dragaon than continue North on the Blue Ridge. Each is an awesome experience, but the Cherohala is best IMO.
