XR650L Windshield Project
Since I bought my CRF250X last January, I have been riding my XR650L on less technical trails. Therefore, I think it might be time to add a windshield to the Big Red Pig.
![]() ![]() ![]() I have been considering a number of options, and I would like to solicit your opinions. Here are some of the choices available to me. The Cee Bailey's, detachable, Tombstone Windshield only costs $63, and is easily removable. Here are some photographs of the Tombstone Windshield installed on some other XR650L motorcycles. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I could also attach a windshield to the shroud of my Baja Designs headlight. However, removing this type of windshield would involve more work than removing the Tombstone Windshield. ![]() Cee Bailey's also sells the following windshield for $57. http://www.ceebaileys.com/baja_design/index.html ![]() Here's a photograph of the Baja Designs Windshield attached to an XR650R. ![]() I could also attach a windshield designed for the 2003 BMW F650GS Dakar motorcycle. Here are photographs of the Dakar windshield attached to an XR650R with a Baja Designs headlight. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Here a some photographs of the Dakar windshield attached to an XR650L with the stock headlight. ![]() ![]() Finally, here are some photos of the Dakar windshield attached to a Husaberg with a Baja Designs headlight. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I could purchase the Dakar windshield for $135 from the following website. http://www.bikescreen.com/proddetail...F650Stock%6003 I might also be able to employ a Moose Racing windshield designed for the 2008-2012 BMW F650GS bikes, but fitment would be a gamble. ![]() http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Windshield...-/380804250598 I also have less expensive options. ![]() ![]() http://www.homedepot.com/p/LEXAN-12-...-33/202038063# Here are photographs of an XR650R with a Baja Designs headlight and a homemade LEXAN windshield. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I could also make an easily detachable windshield from a Harbor Freight Face Shield and some velcro. ![]() http://www.harborfreight.com/face-sh...sor-96542.html ![]() However, I'm not sure the HF face shield could handle the wind without deforming. Finally, I might be able to fabricate a detachable windshield from a plastic garbage can. Don't laugh; it has been nicely done! ![]() http://advrider.com/forums/showthrea...291581&page=20 What do you gentlemen think?
