windsheild

The windshield below came with my Bunny.   I'm not sure who made it.  I tried searching through JP CYCLES catalog but nothing seemed to come up.  I thought at one time I did see it online and that it was a National Cycle product; but when I went to their catalog it didn't come up as being available on the r65.

I'd like to get a smaller screen for the warmer months that uses the same attachment points.  Maybe someone here has a good idea who made this?

Thanks

That does very much look like a National Cycle shield from this angle. From the 2 mounting spots on the front itself, I'm guessing it has the 2 arms on the back that attach to adjustable fittings to the handlebars? If so, that would be one of their universal fit shield, probably either the Plexishield(?) 2, or 3, depending on length. Do a search on Ebay for the National shields, there are lots of pics of the differing styles, as well as prices.

FWIW, Givi also makes several shapes and sizes of universal shields. I added one to the Guzzi, and a smaller one came on the R65 I recently acquired.

That's the one.  Thanks NC Steve

It does have the "No-Hole Ballsocket™, QuickSet™ System."  It is a fine setup.

Glad you found what you were looking for.
SCJJ had the Plexi 3 on Britta for ages and rode year round, and when I inherited the bike I was very impressed with how well it worked in wet and cold weather. The Givi I used on my Guzzi is very similar to the Plexistar 2, and I'm quite happy with it as well. The only reason I went Givi instead was that I got a new shield and hardware at a heavily discontinued model price.

I found the initial installation of the quick-set ball socket system a wee bit tricky, probably due to my mechanical incompetence, but once dialed in it performs flawlessly, and is easily adjustable for various conditions and riders.

And ps: Those prices are National Cycle's full retail, and the shields can be had for a good bit less, either from some of the other large distributors, or on Ebay. All are new, warrantied, etc.
