like someone REALLY needs a bigger sail on an RT....?
I rode up to and back from the Smoky Mountains this
morning; and hit some good wind gusts. once I dropped
the windshield down, my RT handled better in the wind.

the amount of surface that the wind catches is, something
I've had to get used to.

Well, I'm a tall, wide guy.

Here's the Custom Dynamics F4 Short-Wide windshield on my RT Ltd. It lowers enough to get below my sightline but can be raised when you want to use it for protection in bad weather or to reduce buffeting.

To my knowledge there are no suppliers of tinted windshields for the RT. Given that I have exhausted my web search, I am in the process of contacting a local (London) graphic's company to see about applying a light smoked windshield tint to my RT windshield. I expect to hear back from them early next week and will keep you posted on my findings.

Thanks North Star :thumbup: I went to a few window tint places and all said that the film won't stick well' best they could come up with was spray tint in a can .

 

[NorthStar]

I will still make the inquiry and pm you with their response one way or another.

Confirmed what fastfraser reported in a previous post. Window tint material cannot be applied to the windshield of a Spyder.

Maybe some day a supplier will fabricate an aftermarket lightly tinted windshield for the RT.

Have you tried Rifle in the US they will make custom sceens in clear or smoked.

If they think there is enough business they would add to their product line. They make for the RS. Rifle.com

Tinted windshields??? Somebody just figured out how to tint the wind deflectors... I'd have to guess that the same process would work for the "Sail" too! :thumbup:

Aha! Here it is...

E mailed several potential suppliers (Cee Bailey and Rifle to name a few) Nothing positive yet, and I don't expect there to be any takers in the short term, but you never know.

Hi,

I had Rifle make a custom screen for my V-Rod. Sent them the dimensions and curvature (how far set back is at the sides from the center) and they made me a screen. On the site is a Custom section where you can submit if I rember correctly. Note this was last year so should still do. I think they may even drill the holes although I di my own.

They just cut it out of the smoked material and heat curve it.

Just received a message back from both Cee Bailey and Rifle. No plans for manufacture of an RT tinted windshield.
