think its handle bar mounted bars changed not sure of the year..

Thanks for those replies.

If anyone knows of a similar shield that will fit the s40 correctly, please URL it here.

Thanks

I thought about trying to turn the signals over, but the windshield was supposed to fit as sold. Even with the signals altered I'm not sure the windshield would fit, and I'm not willing to go to that much work to find out. Had it not been that I was planning a long trip very shortly, I'd have returned the windshield instead of fooling with it. The actual mounting of the lowers was not the problem in any case. The hardware worked. The problem was the windshield itself.  More strictly, the S40 was the problem. In stock form, when the bars are turned to either side, the rear of the turn signal is actually under the tank, leaving no room for the roughly vertical lower on the windshield. If fault is to be found, it is with National Cycle (maker of the Plexifairing) for not verifying fit before listing the application.

So do I have to conclude that there is no winshield/fairing such as the plexi-3 that will fit the S-40 ? I spent an hour at the local shop here yesterday, and they can't come up w/ anything positive on it either. Any type of windsheild that is 30" wide to cover hands, does not list the s-40. The shop seems to think they can adapt one of them, but I don't want to get stuck w/ a $230 sheild that doesn't fit right.

Any other suggestions ?

Thanks Trish,
That is a really good price for that shield w/ that much hardware.

I am looking for a larger one, and that will be fork mounted. I really want a faring type that covers hands in cold weather, but I have given up on that. So I'm into like a "Memphis Fats" type,...just a larger version of yours. I have the small Slipstreamer Spitfire now, but it sets 5" above the headlite, and just too small at the top.

I saw a "Savage" tonite, and noticed that the directional lites are in front of the forks, opposed to being in the back like mine, which is why some windshields don't fit both bikes.

Thanks again

I have an ss-32-16 that works fine on my S40

The Slip Streamer SS-32-16 Falcon is fork mounted and fits the S40.  It comes with two different thicknesses of rubber to wrap around the forks under the mounts.  I used the thicker pieces with my 2007 S40.
