WTB K75S windshield

[3Airheads]

I'm going to be picking up my new to me K75S tomorrow. She needs a windshield. Does anyone have one for sale or know of a good source for a replacement?

yep.  new ones still available.  don't forget to get the right and left gaskets and the special screws.

I found the stock shield a turbulence producing noise maker,  not offering much protection.  It's a personal thing, many variables factor in.  Parabellum makes one for the S, I had it one for a while but the best I've found is the Aeroflow.  http://aeroflowscreens.com/K75S/K75S.htm

Thanks Chaos. I notice the Parabellum suggest getting rid of the stock mirrors for bar ends. I'm going to check into the Aeroflow and the Gustafson. I'm also not opposed to used.

+10 on the turbulence off the OEM screen.  I had a Parabellum screen on my S, but it exploded when the bike got dropped while I was moving it in the garage.  Very, very fragile plastic.

The best solution I found was to get a used screen and cut 4-5 inches off the top.  That puts the turbulence on my chest and the helmet in clean airflow.  A bonus is that the shortened windshield looks a bit more modern and a lot better than the taller stock unit.

I share the critical opinions about the OEM windscreen my prior K75S came with an Aeroworks touring windscreen that I found outstanding .  The OEM unit went on only occasionally.
I called Aeroworks just this past Friday and I know for a fact that they have several scratch and dent wind screens at significant discount I ordered a tinted screen with only a minor blemish  I will learn the total after shipping tomorrow. About $170 shipped.  Some are cheaper.  I believe retail is $215 plus shipping . Cheers

I'll have to give them a call.

Guess I'm one of the few who likes the stock screen.  The seating position for my 5'11" frame is near perfect and I get no buffeting.

you are not the only one.  the stock screen is PERFECT.  no buffeting, decent protection, with a nice flow of air to the chest.  had an aeroflow, but went back to stock.  aeroflow was nice in the rain or real cold, but the other 99% of the time it blocked way too much air.  plus it looked goofy, as do the chopped stock screens.

for the OP....don't take anyone's word as gospel on screens.  they are a very personal thing (like seats).  the only right one is the one that works for YOU.  not what anyone else thinks is good or bad.

True dat.  I would stay away from the Parabellum, though.  It requires bar end mirrors, needs painted to match bike, and tends to be rather wobbly and fragile.  I lost mine when I passes a semi on I-75, it pulled out of it's mounts, bounced off my helmet and got crushed by a car following me.  I've had the Aeroflow on for a long time, no such problem though it uses the same mounts.  I did use larger license plate nylon retainers when I replaced the originals.

+1 On the stock screen at 5'7" no buffeting and good weather protection. Mine is a local aftermarket copy and pretty tough. Last year I had a bird strike at 80 KPH which tore off the screen. Besides the corner of the screen snapping off on impact with the road it was repairable. It was remounted with new nylon inserts longer stainless screws and steel countersunk washers.
