New member and probably been discussed before but can't locate, what kind of windshields have been put on 200's, how big are they, how do they mount, and do you like one over another? From Northern WI, and like it a little warmer than cooler. Also more highway than off road.

Google "jimbo shield".

He's a member here and very good to deal with so say everyone who has one.

I don't have one because UK bikes have a round headlight.

Most any small aftermarket windshield with handlebar mounts will bolt up, but none seem to be as effective for their size as the Jimbo Shield.

 

[tripleted]

JIMBO SHIELD for sure.

I'm a Jimbo fan too, but really folks - lets answer the poster's question. He asked about windshields (screens) and Jimbo's is either not a wind screen or a minamalist version of one. It does reduce the wind on my chest (I do ride with one at least 9 months per year), but if you live in Wisconsin and want to reduce cold air rushing by your upper body and head, the Jimbo shield is not it. I ran a Spitfire windshield for a few months this winter that I inherited with another bike and it definitely was better protection in nippy weather. One negative was a result of my still riding a lot on dirt or rough terrain and my feeling that I did not like having the top of the wind shield so close to my face in the event of laying the bike down or other gymnastics. For street riding that would be less of a concern. Mount up was easy with attachments on the bar although mine might have been a little more complicated by having the xt350 tank and Moose Racing hand guards (both of which take up room that might have been used by windscreen attachments. So Hornblower, shop around, read about wind shield dimensions etc and also consider handguards to deflect that wind from your hands on fall and winter rides. They are worth the money in comfort. You should find a post here that shows the Spitfire screen on my bike. Try a search. Welcome as well. Tom

Try tciproductsusa.com. I bought a custom made windscreen for my TW. It does a great job but is pricey.

Hi and welcome to the forum! I have a blue Jimbo shield on my TW and love it. It does shield you on the highway and flips branches over your head on the trails. In the summer it gets covered in bugs...that other wise would be in my teeth. It was so easy to install and you dont have to drill or bolt it to your bike, just remove the headlight cowl, snap in place, reinstall the cowl. Took 5 minutes to install, its the easiest and the sharpest looking one out there.

Do you know the difference in size between the Jimbo and the TCI products shield? The Jimbo looks pretty small? Does the TCI function as a real windshield? About how tall is it?

Thanks for the info. The Jimbo did look small. I also have a PC800 with a laminar lip, so appreciate detail on the windshield. Am thinking about reverting to one bike, so exploring options to making the 200 more comfortable on the road. May be too light, but have to try it out. Know wind is a big issue for me in terms of comfort on the road. Sure like the big tires!

I have (had) a National Cycle "Street Shield". It was on the bike when I bought it, and really liked it for the March/April and October/November MN. weather.



It was an easy on/easy off affair. Unfortunately, I took an impromtu trail ride after work and broke the winshield mount during a get off.

Parts are available, but for the summer I'm riding without it. Have thought seriously about the Jimbo, but think I'd miss the protection in the cool weather.

The TCI is 14"W and 13"H off the crossbar of the handlebars. Don't know how big Jimbo is but looks small. I do mainly street riding. For the first two years I didn't have a windshield and noticed alot of wind pressure on my upper body. With the windshield the pressure is completely gone. There is still a little turbulence up around the top of the helmet but nothing compared to before.

Check out Cee Bailey Baja shield, about 4 times larger than Jimbo and actually does something, $55

I seriously considered the Baja windshield. It looks like it would be comparable in performance to the TCI but didn't want to deal with fabricating a durable mount that would withstand the stress like the custom mount that comes with the TCI Product. But the TCI is expensive.

At the speed this bike goes you could probably duct tape it in place, I just drilled some hole in the Yamaha headlight fairing and added some nylon spacers on the top bolts, looks and works good.

 

[T-Dub Ken]

My company is developing a new windshield and is unbreakable and in colors and clear along with another item for our T-Dub's a fairing that will protect from wind

and keep the hands warmed in colder weather.

I hope to have these out into production in about 6 weeks.

Additionally we are working on an oil cooler, kickstand fat foot, handlebar locking storage, under the seat tray that allows the seat to lock and be removed with a latch and key. Give us some time and we will launch these into production.

 

[JerryT]

It sounds like you have some good ideas for some useful additions to our T-dubs. Keep us posted on the progress.
