Hey Everybody,
I went down in Sept and had everything replaced that needed replacing at my local Yamaha dealer (Thousand Oaks Powersports). I was on my first multi-day ride after getting it back and noticed exceptional buffeting at speed (I am 6'2"). The windshield was all the way up, how I normally ride. After getting out the measuring tape the windshield that was installed from the Yamaha dealer, where the repairs were done, is 4 inches shorter than the windshield that was on the bike when I crashed. The old windshield was 21.5 inches tall and the new windshield installed after the accident is only 17.5 inches tall.
I called the shop and they told me the part number they have is the only part number they have for a windshield. I am told by the dealer there are no tall variants.
The part number for the replacement windshield on the bike right now is ECW111TSB. The part number on my old windshield that is is 4 inches taller was 2BS-F837U.
When googling for tall windshield variants I get two results: 2BS-F837U (my old windshield part number) and 2BS-F83J0-00-0 which in the literature says that it is 2 inches taller than the normal windshield. The current part number for the windshield on the bike doesnt appear anywhere, on any website I have searched on. It just doesn't come up as a Yamaha part number.
So my questions is wtf is going on?! Why is the part number on my replaced windscreen not even appearing in searches? On partzilla i type in the ECW number and nothing, literally nothing comes up. When I search for the part number on my old windscreen the results are all from used bikes parting things out. And the results for the 2BS-F83J0-00-0 windscreen are all brand new parts. I just want the same windscreen I had before the accident that looks like it is a stock yamaha option. I would like to avoid a clamp on wind deflector as I am not fond of the look and the previous windshield gave me really great wind deflection around my body. I just do not understand what is going on with these part numbers.
The one from the accident isn't broken but it's scratched up pretty good.
