919 OEM windshield

cmelnick · 03-08-2007, 8:13 AM

Just wanted to give a little info. I really liked the OEM windshield for my 919, but had kind of a hard time finding one. I thought other people might have the same problem. I'm not affiliated w/ this web site at all, just had great service w/ them. If anyone's having trouble finding one, let me know and I'll send you the info.

wassup cmelnick, I gotta 03 919 and at about 155 MPH a person sure could use a windscreen. I have been searching for an acceptable one, maybe you could send some info on how to locate an OEM model.
Thanx ToppGunn_69

OEM 919 Screen

Many people will paint the inside a matte or gloss black to make it blend a little better.

That's a pretty cool idea. I know there's a lot of people that don't like the look of the OEM, and that sounds like a good way to make it look different. I personally love the way it looks. I've got the '06 niner, so not sure if there's a color that would complement the red well...smoke it is, for me.

I had the OEM screen on until recently and liked the way it looked with the red. But I just swapped out the stock headlight for some Dual Dominators and the stock screen had to go (wouldn't fit without some excessive trimming). I'm going to go shieldless for a while and see how it goes. If I need one, probably pick up a Buell M2 or Zero Gravity.

Man, those look really good! I've seen other dual headlights, but I think the lights were bigger, and didn't look nearly as good as yours does...where'd you get them?

Fly N Cycle, Inc. "Dominator" Twin and Single Headlights

They are plug-n-play, but it takes a while to neatly protect and hide all the wiring that it's in the stock headlight dome. I used some big heat shrink to protect the connectors and then wrapped it up in split tube.

Nice price!

KenB: what kind of bar is that? Looks great. I'm thinking maybe Aprilia Tuono, but not sure. How ya like it?

By the way: this is first post on this board. Glad to be here.

aks801 - welcome to the forum!

Those are Renthal Ultra Low bars on a Honda 919 and I love 'em!

aks801 · 05-25-2007, 10:53 AM

Thanks, Ken. How do those bars affect the reach? I like the stock reach (at least, while perched on the bike in the showroom) and the resulting sitting position.

KenB · 05-26-2007, 6:36 AM

The Renthals are a bit lower and wider. There is a measurement chart of all of the aftermarket bars for the 919 here in a another post recently. Search for Suburban or Renthal in this forum section and you'll find it.

I liked the posture on the 919. But the slightly more aggressive position of the Renthals works for me. You're just slightly more lean into the wind and that helps if you do not have a screen like me. They are also less buzzy than the stock bars.

Ken B, do you have any more pics of of the 'before" like sides and angles? Thanks

Riquefied 919 · 04-15-2008, 2:07 PM

I just got one from Honda 2 weeks ago

Sprecher · 04-22-2008, 8:12 PM

I got an OEM windshield thrown in for nothing with the purchase of my '07 919. It's quite the bug deflector.

All my 919 pics are here.

Thanks for the Rick Roush site, i've been looking everywhere with no luck.

Highrevz · 05-16-2008, 7:46 PM

Great looking bike Ken!! You've transformed her very well and thought out yet still looks clean. Ken, would you say the Sato's are louder than the stocks with a bafflectomy? ~Lee

I really couldn't tell you Lee. I've never heard a bafflectomy in person, only on youtube. From what I've read over on wrirsttwisters.com, the Sato cans have a much deeper growl than the bored out stock cans. It's likely that the Sato's are giving more power as well. And they sure do look amazing!
