Thread: Windshield for R60/5

I have to agree with the comments made above about the Parrabellum windshield. While the windshield is excellent, the mounting system is cheaply made and did not work well on my R90/6. I decided to forget the top mounting system because I did not want to take my front forks apart. I bought a couple clamps at the local hardware store and mounted the top mounts to the handlebars. This rig has worked well for the 100 miles I have put on the bike...

"Frame mounted clear (non cafe') windshield", I don't know of a frame mounted device that isn't a full fairing. On my /5's, I use a Givi short screen on the white one and switch between a Memphis Shades Hellcat and a Wixom Ranger fairing on the blue one.

I sent it back and had them make me a windshield that was 2 inches taller than their tall windshield and it is still a little to short. It could really use 2 more inches. They wouldn't make it anymore than 2" taller because of the weak mounting system. I paid them and additional $25 to make the...

I think you can find Wixom fairings for a /5 in the Flea Market now and then as well as ibmwr.org and ebay. They are pretty light, but the windsceens seem flimsy to me. I'd also look into a frame mounted fairing for stability. Having the fairing shift while entering a turn, even slightly with the lean changes the handling characteristics. Just my $0.02
