I have seen them on some peoples bikes, it is basically a shaped piece of plastic that mounts above the gauge cluster. I really need one! I am getting some NASTY glare on my fairing windshield from the gauges at night. If I can find a pic of it I will post it.

Make me an offer on one NOS, genuine Yamaha sticker and all.
They won't work well with a radio in the fairing.
They are stock on the Venturer. There are a couple shots of one in this pic:

That is the part I am talking about, but I doubt u can afford NOS so I don't even think I want to make you an offer.Originally posted by TheFrugalTech View PostMake me an offer on one NOS, genuine Yamaha sticker and all.

That's because the radio (cyclesounds) solves the problem all by itself. It hangs over far enough to be a glare shield.Originally posted by TheFrugalTech View Post1980 XS850SG - Sold

True, but I was thinking about it from the point of not being able to reach the radio controls very well with the shield on.Originally posted by CatatonicBug View PostCurrent Stable:

Would work fine on YOUR fairing with stereo Natemoen.........just can't be left on using the Vetter fairing with stereo. Still have mine as part of the original stuff including the original seat that IIRC has only seen a couple weeks of daylight its whole life.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.Comment
