Windsheild ?
Just got a 91 and really like it . However , The windsheild is so tall I can't see over it. It's pretty cloudy so it's a pain . Is the windsheild adjustable ? I have had numerous bikes with windsheilds and I was always able to look over the top. That's what i like . All help appreciated

Re: Windsheild ?
The Voyager windshields are slightly adjustable- about an inch or inch and a half. Remove the two rear view mirrors and the chrome trim just below the windshield to get to the adjustment screws. Someone may have also put a taller accessory windshield on.

Re: Windsheild ?
Hi DB and welcome aboard. No the wind shield is not adjustable.
How tall are you? iam 5’11” and am just looking over the top or just looking
Through the top depending on how I set. You may have a taller wind shield
I believe they make them up to 5” taller than stock of 24”. You can get cleaner
To fix the cloudy part if it’s not too bad. And if you do a search there are several
Manufactures listed in tech tips. to get a new one.

I could be wrong and didn’t adjust it right. But I won’t take the chance agin iam just going to get a taller windshield.

Re: Windsheild ?
You can check Ebaymotors as well for a new windshield. i see them there all the time for less than $90. You can also check the home page of this site for links on the left to manufacturers of after market windshields if you don't want to replace with stock.

Re: Windsheild ?
I cut my stock windshield down 3" to 21" and that worked great for me. I'm 5'9" and average proportions. The stock windshield is 24".
You can also buy a new (and better quality) 22" windshield from Cee Bailey for $100 (click here.) Cee Bailey's are made from aircraft acrylic, whatever that is. You can even get a Goldwing vent installed.

Re: Windsheild ?
The windshields are adjustable, but only a little as I stated. You can adjust them the length of the slots. You also must have tightened yours too much to crack it. I am careful only to snug it up, but not tighten too much, it is plastic after all, and it doesn't take much to hold the adjustment.DaveMac wrote:I tried to adjust mine up a little and cracked it I believe it is meant to set at the bottombikerking.biz wrote:The Voyager windshields are slightly adjustable- about an inch or inch and a half.

Re: Windsheild ?
This is true if you want stock size or LARGER and don't want to cut it down yourself. If you want to see over the top as you specified, the 22" Cee Bailey's is you best option. I found the 18" Summer Sport to be waaaaaay too short! (Unless maybe you're 5'6" with short torso!)Mike in Pekin , Il wrote:There are several opportunities for winshields in various sizes.
