Yeah, so when I parted out my 07 I sold the orange plastic front part (what's that called anyway?) because who needs two of those, right?

I do.

When I bought the 08, the owner had mounted a tall windscreen which is nice in the winter but in the summer I found I prefer the original flyscreen. So I switched it back but man, putting those rubber grommets back in is a serious pain in the nether region. I thought, boy, if I wasn't such an idiot, I would have kept that part from the other bike and then I could just swap the whole assembly.

So, anyone have an extra laying about or a source?

Thanks
Ski

Basically it is called the fly screen, the windshield is just that.

If the grommets give you gas, put them in some hot water for a couple of minutes, then give them a little dish soap to lube for the installation.

No. You cannot have mine. They are being used.

I have 3 2 black ones and the Valencia orange i'm currently using. By the way there is a Guy in the UK that made me a orange translucent tall wind shield, i'm sure he can make any color needed, the work is great and the holes are perfectly drilled.

If you're talking about the windshield mounts in the wind screen, I converted the ones on my old Uly to well nuts. They stay in the screen and you can bolt on a different shield without ever having to pull the screen.
Have the conversion pix stored away on disk, but there are some references buried away on the site.
