Posts: 9 Lake Havasu City, AZ Gender:	Suzuki Windshield 01/03/09 at 14:07:07 I've been riding and enjoying my new 08 S40 for the last couple of months. I think I may want to install a windshield and have done a search on here. Everyone just says they installed "a windshield" without calling out a brand or type. Is anyone using the factory Suzuki one and what do you think of it? Any ideas would be welcome. George

Tinted model purchased from JC Whitneys. No complaints, easy to mount and it does not distract from the bikes looks.

Search Ebay for Suzuki Savage Windshield. Several will come up, clear or tinted. Price varies, but average is $70.00

ahhh.... no.

Lots of threads very specific as to make and model of windshields. Try searching again using these settings:

Pulled 36 threads, many quite informative.

Makes a big difference at 70+ on the highway. However, if I regularly rode in the below 30 range of temps, I'd want one a little taller. Go here http://www.jaskowiak.cc/S40/ for pictures, after the first 4, it's on there.

I put a Spitfire on mine. Just about right as far as coverage and looks go. Sometimes it would be nice to have a larger windscreen, but I learned on another bike that bigger isn't always better. The Spitfire does the job well enough, without being the first thing a person sees when they look at the bike. Price was right too. I think I paid about $75.

It takes the wind pressure off my chest. I got it with the bike, it is pretty similar to the Spitfire. I suggest that you get a sheild that is is easily removable while leaving the mounts in place (the Suzuki shield is not removeable).

Jack_650 Senior Member Offline I love YaBB 1G - SP1! Posts: 463 Minnesota Gender:	Re: Suzuki Windshield Reply #11 - 01/05/09 at 12:50:28 I'm the happy owner of the NationalCycle Plexi shield. It's great on the highway. The difference in being out of the wind is amazing when you put in a 650 mile day several days in a row. And it goes down low enough to protect your knees and it covers your hands, double protection from wind chill. Jack
