s40 family, to windshield, or not.

a brief discussion with Sam about windshields. And, bird vs motorbike.

[@someguitarguy.]

Nice bikes. Just started riding again after 19 years and picked up an 06 S40 with crazy low miles last week. LOVE. IT. It has the small Boulevard windshield and I think it looks great...and keeps me a bit cleaner.

The grouse around here come at you like a ballistic missile ! there is a sapsucker type bird with a long skinny beak, he is pigeon size, and he likes to fly up out of the ditch late summer evenings right into your face, i am a windshield guy ever since i met up close with that bird! - also, some way-too-big bug made a 4 inch guts splat the other day on my bike windshield! some of the guts actually somehow gished onto the back of it too! never saw that before.

I agree! I love the tinted shield!

[@PhilHewkin]

Me too!

[@janelavender5364]

Which windshield is that? I have a Suzuki Boulevard S40 2015 I need a windshield for.

[@PhilHewkin]

That is a "MEMPHIS SHADES" 11x17. they are available in about 10 different color tints. I got mine at FORTNINE in Canada. was about $165.oo but maybe inflation = more cost.

@@PhilHewkin was it easy to install?

[@PhilHewkin]

@@janelavender5364 yes, it can be ordered with the mounting hardware, (recommended) It comes with an allen key the correct size needed. There is an assembly instruction pamphlet, easy to follow. I re-mounted mine in an improvised way, I was trying to reduce vibration because I was hoping to be able to mount my go pro onto the windsheild. I did manage to reduce vibration substantially, but i found it too unstable for camera use. I found a better way to stabilize my camera since. I think these windsheilds are the best option for form and function.
