Windshield 6 Months ago  
Anyone have a windshield they would like to sell? Maybe someone has replaced their windshield with a fairing, and want to get it off the shelf in their garage. I think I will put my bike up for sale, I have a lot of decals on my windshield probably easier to replace windshield that take the decals off. Don't know if they are year are specific, but my bike is an 07.
Also, I have a friend that replaced his vinyl or hard leather bags when the bike was new (07). Will sell them to me, but said to make him an offer. I don't know how much they are worth. Don't want to cheat him. Any ideas what they should sell for?
Thanks

I have a clear windshield. PM me an offer, plus shipping. If it's perfectly reasonable, it's yours.

Re:Windshield 6 Months ago  
I had a good offer from Questcap to sell me his windshield, unfortunately with him in MA and me in CA, UPS estimated the shipping at $66.00 which I don't think I want to spend for shipping. Timbo114 also responded to the post, but he lives in PA, which I think the shipping would be outrageous. But thank you Timbo for your response. Now with that said, does anyone on the West Coast have one they would be willing to sell.

Re:Windshield 6 Months ago  
Might be worth a try to try to remove the decals and stickers on your existing windshield. A quick cheap attempt would be to take some plain old duct tape (not the cheap harbor freight low tack stuff) and put it over the stickers. Rub it down hard over the sticker and run your fingernail around the edge to make sure the edges of the sticker are well stuck to the duct tape. A quick yank on the duct tape a lot of the time will pull the stickers and decals right off. I have done this a lot with a high success rate. You can dab the back of the sticker over any adhesive left on the windshield to remove and adhesive residue that might have been left behind. Older sun baked stickers might be tougher but it is about 100% effective on the annoying decals on new windshields and works pretty reliably on bumper stickers on chrome.
