Windshields
 
I am looking for a windshield. Most ask for 7/8-1 in. handlebars. What part of the handle bar are they talking about?

Windshield
 
If you buy a handlebar mounted windshield, you'll need one for a 7/8" handlebar. The mounts usually connect via a clamp to the vertical part of the bar or the lower horizontal part.

It's the diameter; pick any part, should be the same 7/8 all the way across.

If you get a "universal" mount, it will come with 1" clamps and inserts to cut it down to 7/8.

Wind shields
 
I measured my handle bars they are more than than an inch around.
That's why I ask. I put a bid on a National cycle plexistar 2.I am hoping
to win and slap that sucker on my bike...I would like some suggestions
in case I don't win. Thank you guys for the input.

Are you confusing circumference with diameter?

Diameter is the distance ACROSS, not around.
I gave a recommendation for the shield I have in another message just a couple of days ago.
If you didn't see it, please look around a bit.

Are you the one that outbid me on that?? :)

I hope you got it. I, too, have been trying to figure out which of the 3million or so windshields available to put on my bike. The thread that I link to in my last post has a weblink to a site that has a fair selection of shields, as well as many other things, for our bikes. I have also been looking at http://www.powersportsuperstore.com. They have a huge selection

Out Bid.
 
No, I don't think I am the one that outbid you. I lost too. I was very disappointed.

CALIGIRL1969 07-19-2008 07:22 PM

Thanks for the help guys!!! I decided on a Memphis Shades Santa Cruz
