OEM GW Windshield

[Wmorgan2k]

Just so you know the OEM GoldWing windshield (i.e. full tour bike) is different than the F6B windshield. The factory F6 shield has 3 fixed holes in it, one on each side and one in the middle with specific collars that hold the shield in place. The OEM tour windshields have 5 slots with plates that go in them so the windshield can move. If you get an OEM shield and don't get the plates that go with it you'll have to do what I did and make collars and washers to hold the shield in place. Then you will probably need some thin foam because the thing will squeak as it rubs against the plastic.

So my point is make sure it has all the hardware on it because your stock hardware isn't enough. OH and there are 5 fixed screw holes on for a screen on the F6 but they are fixed.

Here are some quick picks of what i mean, this is a super tall for windstream for a full wing. You can see the slots in the shield. There are plates that fill that slot with a bolt hole that slides up and down for the wings adjustable screen. The F6 doesn't have that so you gotta make collars and use all 5 holes for safety.


Here you can see it all installed with some foam to stop the squeaking because this shield didn't have the hardware.


Happy hunting and hope that helps. I paid $70 for this one so I was pretty happy.

I believe the 5 slots were used on earlier model Wings and the later wings have 3 slots. (Some aftermarket company's go w/5 slots to 'fit all')
F6B does have 3 holes.

Thanks for the heads up but I already dealt with this when I got my Baggershield for a GW. I ended up using the center hardware for the GW and the stock F6B bolts/washers on the sides. This way there's two choices, all the way up or all the way down. Works good and makes it secure. I fuzzed out the sides cuz I was trying something different at the time.

Bobby where did you get the center hardware from? I wouldn't mind getting that piece for mine if it can be purchased...

Ordered it from my local dealer. You need the front and back pieces and two screws. I also ordered the pieces for both sides but ended up not using them and used the F6B bolts.

You need numbers 33, 34, 40 and 57. Check out this link:

What can one do when it's after 6 PM,,, you're in a motel parking lot hundreds of miles from home,,,, and you discover the GL1800 shield slots are too large for the F6B hardware?

Do what I did,,, Just walk next door to Lowe's and pick up a few fender washers!!! LOL!!!!

Not quite as nice as OEM stuff though,,

Why not try a F4 Custom windshield. They come in 14,16, 18, or 20 inch sizes. Measured from the weatherstrip up. Tinted or clear, With a vent or without. Unbelievable clarity, sheds water like mad, resists scratches, Clean up with only a paper towel and Windex. Best windshield I ever bought.
