Actual Yamaha bug screen

Yes, TM, I have a Spitfire about the same size, but yours looks correct. Real nice.

Cool, it's going to stay on this bike. Which is next inline for a spring start up.. Sun is out so Im out run testing the other.. obviously I lack in parking space , ugh.. -RT

 

[TimeMachine]

Wow, Pete, I'll measure when the rain comes back. A Rare Sunshine here today ! I gotta get outside ! -RT, Oregon

That's what I've got.....'cept mine has a round sticker at bottom center announcing "genuine" 4 times, encircling "Yamaha".

That's a nice looking screen TM, I've been kicking around the notion of adapting a small windscreen to fit my bike. I like the way the hardware fits. I modded a windscreen a few years ago and found its really not that hard to cut windshields and polish the edges back to like new.

Mailman, modded a few myself with block sander or even a dremel cutter. Kinda fun . The best hardware is here at Ace. Chrome stuff ! I mounted the shield up about .400" with chrome spacers. This helped the shield clear the gauges. Ironically I rode my other bike today which now has nothing and sure missed some wind blocking ..Cold today ! -RT

That will fit any XS Yamaha. XS650 through XS1100 all have the same spacing. It may not clear the big clocks on the standard XS1100.

 

[TimeMachine]

Eyeballed the lean angle of the shield to be 23° more than the top triple clamp mount plane

 

[nj1639]

Let us know how it functions for you.

 

[PickerAdam]

I'm a picker and I think I just found one seen this forum when I was Google searching not much on it if someone is interested let me know

 

[TimeMachine]

PickerAdam, good find, do you have the black mounts ? I am interested if not even. -RT

 

[PickerAdam]

I do not think I do

 

[TimeMachine]

Picker Adam, If that shield is like mine, without mounts, I might be the only one to use it. But I am glad you found me.. private message was sent.. -RT

If someone decides to duplicate this shield, count me in.
I've been looking for something like this for years.
And also for something pure vintage like this:

 

[nj1639]

Early '60's vintage there, Hubba Hubba! Uh, Mom? Is that Mom!?

 

[MaxPete]

Hubba hubba - havent heard that expression in a loooooonnnngggggg time!!!

ROTFLMAO!!

 

[nj1639]

Sometimes I channel the twelve year old that resides within.....

 

[PickerAdam]

Would anyone know a value on the shield without the mounts like in the picture

 

[Mailman]

Yamadude,

Nice!!....Record collection!
