has anyone found a website that sells a taller one for the roketa,bms,..burgman look alike scooters?
or has any one used the 4oo burgman windshield for it?

[ccprof]

Can't help. I have an extension on mine as do a lot of other folks.

[fairweasel2323]

im short! dont need extension sorry!

[fubar05]

thank you all
well as i have spent many day's looking at websites and even a trip to suzuki dealer ,i have come up short,but... this website: www.bikescreen.com/products.asp?cat=98
said that if i send them my windshield ,they would make me one with trhe exact mounting holes and as wide and tall as i want it! i spoke to my better/financial,half and got the ok to do it,sweeeet ,man my lady loves me,lol.
so i am packing and sending today ,so keep tuned if you have a scoot like mine as now they will have a blueprint to go from for the rest of you.
ps i am getting it 4 inch's taller,and am asking them to make it 3 inch's wider at the area infront of hand grips as well,wish me luck!
happy highway's

Fubar. I would go out and really look at the area on the sides of the windshield. I thought about widening mine in that are also. BUT turn your handle bars all the way to one side and take a measurement. I was very close to my windshield with the handle bars so there was no way to extend that out. Before you spend the money on that part being customized I would make sure it will work for you.

ahhh said the dumb^&&(*
you are exactly right it would not work as it will hit either break lever,(good catch)
thank you sir!

TO ALL, THIS WINDSCREEN FITS MY VOG-260 PERFECTLY.THE MOUNTING HOLES MATCH UP AND ARE SECURED USING THE OLD HARDWARE. THE QUALITY AND ADDED PROTECTION OF THIS WINDSCREEN IS HARD TO BELIEVE, I LOVE IT ! AND YOU WILL TO

[fubar05]

no not yet i need to wait till my wife gets opver the cost of the sliders,swing arm,and tires ..lol might be a little while,.
but i WILL get it b4 winter!

[joe]

i bought mine from slipshield,com,works great

[fubar05]

well i just ordered it from www.helmetheadcycle.com/
thanks for that link dr.jrryan ,
in an earlier post you can see where someone else got this windshield for hi/her vog 260, we all know that this is the same as my scoot xy260t-4 ,as a matter of fact i got a swing arm from a dismantled bms 260,as there are many members with this style scoot now i will make sure to let all know how good it fit's .
this scoot is the 1st i have had with a windscreen at all , and i love it, i was always the 1st one to say if you have a mc ..its to feel the wind ,and freedom of it,!but after riding the scoot and not having the constant force pushing you back i noticed how much longer i could ride without fatigue,now i am wanting even more..i want the wind out of my ear's and face ;D

[fubar05]

wow
it has already shiped today and is supposed to be here on the 1st ,now thats fast free shiping !
can't wait for the taller windshield

[fubar05]

;Dhi again
OK so i got the windshield in today from helmethead.com
wow that was fast .sorry i don't have any pic,s yet my wife took the cam today, but i will have some soon
1st things 1st, did it fit?..well yes,kinda!the mounting holes are spot on perfect! but...the lower sides that are for handle grip protection are vary tight, and i do mean VARY , so i will be getting some thing to shave that down a hair ,no biggie, then there is the front cover , well the givi shield has a more pronounced bevel to it , so that will need some shaping as well, still no biggie , with a dremmel i got that!.
As for function..wow it is just what i was looking for i had rode for about 2 miles before i realized i had not closed my face shield , and i can hear the engine clear as hell now,
there is a drawback though, it has some back draft to it ,by that i mean i can feel a force pushing on the back of my helmet ,but it's not much,just enough to feel it, after riding for about 40+miles ,i can say it will be great for winter,spring and fall but middle summer it's going to be HOT,so i do still have my old stock one!
i am still vary glad i got it ,i can even turn my head at speed and not feel a thing,with the old shield it felt as if the wind were about to rip my head off ;D
as for quality, no comparison, givi is top notch it almost looks as if it is magnified , and as clear as air, till a damn bug hit's !
pic's to follow

Fubar05,
Good Job, yes I like mine as well in the winter you will appreicate it even more:) I also like the thickness of it, it is thicker and more rigid than the OEM. In the summer I have my face shield up most of the time and it is fine because you do get wind from the sides.
