Windshield for ST1100

[sharimac]

Greeting's ST'ers. I have a 91 ST that has an after market windshield on it. My problem with it is the top edge is right in my line of sight. I either have to look over it or under and you would think its not a big deal but it really bugs me.
I've seen a few places that carry replacements, one that I really like says it's for the Euro-Pan. A very nice man on the phone said that it wouldn't fit, that there was a slight change on the 94 model. Then I found the same one-same part number on another site that says it's for the Sport Tour and will fit 91-02.
Since I'm just a newbie I'm hoping there are a few experts out there that can clear this up for me.

Thanks,
Shari

I don't know about the compatibility of different year windscreens so I can't help you there. Just a thought however- if you wanted to keep the windscreen that you already have now did you consider cutting down a little bit.

I wondered about that but my luck it would crack :

All ST1100 windshields are interchangable, no difference from year to year. There are two different (that I know of) original styles; plain and "cat eye", and a slew of aftermarket ones available.

I have a 91 ST1100 and I bought a MSA Vario screen with adjustable lip. They are European, made in Germany but Twisted Throttle in RI caries them. They are an exact fit.

I believe the only change in that area of the bike was to the garnish under the windscreen that doesn't affect the fitment of the screen anyway. I love the VarioScreen Max that has already been mentioned. Twisted Throttle has to order them from Germany so it takes awhile to get them... Unless they started stocking them again but last one I bought had to be ordered. Unfortunately I have a bad habit of breaking Varioscreens so I am currently running a Laminar Lip windscreen combo that I like pretty well. My bike originally came with a clearview screen that was just too big for my taste but they make a few different kinds for the 1100 and even sometimes have really good deals on returned screens that may have the smallest of scratches in them. Good Luck

I second that, I have purchased three Clearview shields for my 1100's and one for my Goldwing. They make a quality product.

As already noted: no change in connections for all years.

urrently running a Laminar Lip windscreen combo

My choice as well.

Hello Shari, I've cut down a couple windscreens both clearview for the 1100 with no problems, if time allows I'm down in Belen if you want to look at the one I have left. I think it's about a 22". I'll look to see if I have shots of it.

Best, Ed

Another . Clearview makes a great screen.

Same here I bought one for my Trophy 1200 and it was expensive - ?220 inc shipping but well worth it

I wondered about that but my luck it would crack :

It cuts easily using a fine blade, such as a coping saw blade. Just draw a line on it with a marker pen, cut on the line and smooth the edge with a fine grit sandpaper. Mask up to the edge with masking tape to avoid small scratches near the edge you are sanding. OR - take it to any glass shop that also handles plexi. They could cut it and likely not charge very much at all.

For cutting down, tape off following line to be cut, prior to cutting.

Clearviews XL GENIIIs on all three ST1100s. Ran a Riffle for a while but cracked it and switched to Clearview. A used stocker might be about the right height which show up on EBAY now and then.

A stock screen is 16", vertical in the center. Measure what you have so you will know what the sizes mean. Sometime they are called +4" (20") or +6" (22").

My screen is 16", vertical in the center also but I have no idea whether or not it's a stock screen. On Clearviewshields web site they state that the stock height is 14.75". Are certain your screen is stock or has Clearviewshields made an error or are there a couple of different stock screens for the ST1100?

 

[Ron]

I'm pretty sure it is 20". I have been wrong before.

I would measure it but I have cut it down for a summer shield. It tops out at the top of the "horns" on each side just above the top of the dash.

My Clearview large is described as a 23" (plus 4). It is coming in tomorrow. Hope it is tall enough.

Was it tall enough? I'm deciding between large and xlarge!

If Clearview hasn't changed their policy, you can return it if you don't remove the plastic coating.
It mounts fine with it and give you a chance to see if it will work for you.
But return postage is on you - which can be steep these days!
