Windshield Change?

[smurfette]

Hi Everyone!
It's almost December, and yes, I'm still riding here in Massachusetts:yes:. My ryde is a 2010 RT-A in Orbital Blue (with a few mods of course!), and I was wondering.. Does anyone know of a shorter windshield that would be compatible? Trying to think of a mod to do over the :cus: winter.:roflblack: I just invested in a full face modular helmet, so my season's even longer now! Any thoughts on the windshield?????

CalSci.com Has some real Nice RT Windshields Lower than your 2010 version.

This past summer I installed the 23" BRP RT Touring windshield Part#219400243. I really like it lots of air flow all around you and since its adjustable in the full up position it is still over my head as I am 5'8'' tall. for 2013 BRP has come ot with a vented windshield like a Honda gold wing windshield part#219400360 .Both windshields are 23" tall .

The 2011 and later RT's all have a shorter (and lighter) windshield.

I wound up trading my larger 2010 windshield with a member on here who wanted the taller one, and I got the smaller one.

I had the dogbone fail on my windshield motor. I've always suspected that BRP went to a smaller windshield in later models to reduce the stress on the windshield adjustment mechanism due to these failures.

I never had the larger windshield raised to the full extent. I always had it low enough to just look over it.

With the later model windshield, when raised full I get exactly the same effect. With the windshield down all the way, I get more air in the summer.

In the past, I've cut windshields using a dremel with good success. Cutting yours might be an option also.

2010 A&C here as well...
The stocker is about 27"
fFor 2011, they shortened them to 25", and offer a 23" as an accessory.
Cal Sci and F4 both offer some pretty nice options

'Tis the Season for Farkling... Falala-lala, la-la, La-la!

With the weather getting colder, why would someone want a shorter windscreen?
