Just took delivery on my new 08 after having sold my 05 to my brother. When I bought the 05 I ended up going thru 4 different screens before happily settling on the Cal Sciences shield. I now must also buy an aftermarket shield for the 08 as well. My question is;;; Why does Yamaha not deliver the bike from the factory with a shield that is high and wide enough to provide adequate wind protection for the majority of riders? These oem shields are just not designed for most riders. Just about everyone I know with an FJR has had to replace the oem shield. Whats up with that? Too bad, because the shield that came with my 08 is great looking, very stealthy looking and supposedly is made of a super duper scratch resistance coating. With all the quality control and refinining the Yamaha provides why do you think they don,t look at this obvious problem? any opinions? thanks JIM
