I just installed the small windscreen and it looks fantastic! But has a large problem at night. The headlight reflects right back into your eyes from the glossy finish inside the windscreen. I'm gonna remove it and use flat black paint on the inside part to dull the intense reflection.

Yeah, Hangar did his in flat black because of it.. I like the Victory shield I'm using the best of all. I tried the ones Yamaha has for the Vmax & didn't like them.

"How much power is enough ?"
"Too much should be just right. |

There are tons of pictures of it already posted here. This thread chronicles the various windshields I've tried as well as paint & other aesthetic improvements.
www.starvmax.com/index.php?option=com_ku...limitstart=230#47608 Here's a few shots right after I installed it. Of course I didn't use the chrome faceplate that said Victory on it..     I also have it in black for a different look. Below is a quote from months ago. The Touring is the bomb for comfort & protection, but some say a bit to big to look sporty. I tried the Boulevard but found it was like riding with a sheet of plywood against my chest & arms. I'm 6'2" and catch a lot of wind, so I tried a Victory Hammer shield (cost $49), and allows me to kinda tuck in at speeds, so that's what I use.  Don't think that you're locked into what Yamaha has to offer  |

Cool, I just wish there was some more on ebay. I have 2 of them, 1 black & 1 tint, for under $100

You need 2 small 2" L brackets you can get from Home depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, etc. Once you have them, it's easy to see what to do. You just add another bend, kinda like a Z, but straighter, and then the shield bolts right up and clears everything like it was made for it.   |
