I have a Gen II (2) windshield for sale and here's the story.
I was parking my bike in the garage the other day and it fell over, (Forget the why,
just focus on the windshield for now), anyway the bike fell over. I got mad and
tried to pick up the bike from the wheel side. (Yeah, I know dumb, stupid, idoitic,
moronic, etc...) so when I couldn't pick it up more than a few inches I got madder.
Then after a few tries of this (Yeah, I'm dense like that) it finally moved a little
and I got some hope, but then when I got to tired to lift anymore the bike settled
back against the garage wall it made this crazy cracking noise.
The windshield! Arrrrg!
After the last try, bits of plastic went flying and the windshield made this horrible
noise and was now akimbo. (That's cockeyed for you southerners)
Anywho, now I'm really mad, I wiggle into the space between the wall and the bike
and commence to picking the bike up from the seat side, which was, as you can imagine,
not so hard and was eventually successfull. Now with the bike upright (Erect for you
southerners) I find an inanimate object and throw it as far as I can down the driveway.
The object I picked up was my cracked and broken windshield and it slid down the
driveway with a satisfying skip and spin.
Man that felt good!
When I finally I settled down I went out into the driveway to retrieve my mangled up
windshield and was confused. It seems the only damage was to the front where it
skidded down the driveway. (And that damage was substantial)
Sure enough, when the windshield broke off, all that was actually damaged was the 7 plastic
screws and a tab on the plastic cover.
I now realize that I just ruined a perfectly good windshield. (Suddenly southerners look
much much smarter than me)
So I sanded, polished, rubbed, sanded some more, and am officially tired of f'in with it.
You want it? It's yours for free and the fact you bothered to read this far.
Structurally it's a 10, optically it's a 1.
You pay for the shipping and it will be on your door just as soon as it can be.
You can polish it like I tried to do, cut it down and paint it black, or just throw it like
a frisbee off the highest mountain just for the cost of shipping.
How sweet is that? AND I will discount the shipping to any southerners who bother to take
me up on the deal, just for my lact of respect for your people.
I don't have a photo right now but to describe it, it used to have some very deep
gouges, I sanded through the coating and got rid of all the depest of gouges. It now looks
frosted with a bunch of swril marks from my orbital sander at 320 grit. It can be polished
out but it will take some work. All the damage is on the front side, the inside is still
smooth and shiny. There are no structural cracks or dings.
