• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Windshield vent template?

Hi Does anybody have a windshield vent template when you use a Goldwing 1800 vent on stock 2012 RT windshield? Thanx :popcorn:
 
I believe if you do a Search here there's a few to be found. This forum has an encyclopedic amount of knowledge stored in it
 
Found one for a showchrome Goldwing 1800..just don't know if all the cut outs are the same...:dontknow:
 
Windshield Vent for our 2014 Spyder RT Limited - not too bad to install

Here's the one I used. Purchased it on Amazon. Show Chrome Accessories 2-359C Clear Windshield Air Vent

I looked and could not find my template, but one comes with the unit. I left windshield on the bike and used several layers of tape to protect the windshield. Used a drill for the corners to insure round holes were there to prevent stress cracks - no sharp corners. I used a saber saw carefully for the rest of the cutout.

The template was a "guide" as I had to modify it to be a slightly larger hole - maybe due to the curvature of the Spyder RT windshield compared to a Goldwing.

UPDATE: Found a scan of the template (don't know if it will print to scale, but here you go) - see attachment

Works well - here's a couple of pics. PM me if any questions.....good luck with your project!
