What's Old Is New Again!

[Hittheroad_imp]

I found my old windshield (that I thought was long gone many years ago) in my Dad's garage last year. I had it on my 1977 Vespa Piaggio Ciao' when I was 14. Why I needed a shield for a bike that went all but 25-30 mph is beyond me, but it survived, even after the Vespa didn't. I bought an MRA mounting kit that fit perfectly and installed it on my CB. It has a lot of shelf wear but it polished up nice! Not bad for 38 years old!

Congrats for this nice windshield.

As I also use a MRA windshield and use the same MRA mounting kit, I just would like to let you know, that I experienced some problems, when I installed it at the handlebar, the way like you did. The clamp at the handlebar seems to be a little bit weak in this vertical direction and the windshield started to bounce up and down, when riding over bad surface.

I changed it this way, as you can see at this picture. Stability is much better this way.

I anchored mine further up on the handlebar. With a test run, I found it to be fairly stable.

I have a 2014 Deluxe and was going to order a National Street Shield EX, but they don't make a clear model any more. What do you think of the MRA-V-Flow VarioTouringScreen "C"? Its 17" tall, but has the additional wind deflector on top.

Hi Road Warrior .. what model MRA did you buy?

Ok, so I bought the MRA V-Flow Vario Touring Screen from Twisted Throttle. I just installed it and took it for a short test ride on surface streets and freeway. Still trying to figure out how to adjust this thing.

I have the MRA Vario Touring VTNB (the shortest Vario model) and it works great for keeping a big calm pocket on your body right up to about my chin. Adjustable 'wing' gives you lots of control depending on your typical speed, height preferences, etc. Pics here:

However, on long highway/interstate rides I'm catching too many bugs on my full face helmet shield. I just bought the height adjustable MRA VNB model as seen here:

I'll give a review on it once installed and test ride done. I know these are tall by some riders' standards, but a big high desert grasshopper in the head at 80mph will convert you too. If I like the VRA model I'll either sell the shorter one or keep it for in town use. Once you get all the parts together and initial adjustments done it is really just a couple of Allen head bolts and you're good to go swapping them out.
Here's their full range that fit our CB's:
