12 Best Windshield For 1800 Goldwing (2023 Updated)

After much comparison and thought, I decided on this windshield. Oh man, was I surprised. The installation went smoothly even with having to mount my old vent. I was amazed at how easy at how easy it was and how nice it looks.

I couldn?t resist so I had to take for a ride of 40 miles or so and smile remained unbroken. It?s like looking through a glass windshield !.

It’s absolutely great. Should have purchased this years ago. I only swapped to this new one because the original on my 05 got so bad I couldn’t see through it if sun was at a certain angel. But if I’d known how much better it was I’d have swapped out when the bike was new.

The instructions that come with it are so much more simpler than what’s in shop manual.

From the pictures it looks like a curved windshield. It’s not. It says tinted but it’s not. It does the job but I was really disappointed in how light the tint is.

I noticed the upper curve is different. It is also wider. Was easy to install on bike never fought. Glad I purchased. It had a lot of static when I installed but dust never went for it. It was like wow the old shield was really bad.

Very good purchase in my book.

Perfect for my 750 Sabre. Quick shipping. Ordered another for my wifes Rebel. Great if your looking for a small wind deflector.

I purchased my batwing last summer (2015), after riding without a windshield for seven years. It went on easy enough without assistance and looked even better then I expected. Tip: mount just the fairing brackets to the forks to get the mounts the right distance apart.

Once they look to be in the right place, snug the bolts and remove the fairing brackets from the fork mounts and attach them to the fairing. You can loosen the fork mounts once you get the fairing mounted on them to adjust the height of the fairing.

It took some roadside tinkering and tweaking to get the most wind deflection from my 9″ spoiler windshield even though I’m only 5′ 11″, but it was well worth it. The only real complaint I have is with some of the mounting hardware.

The nut/bolt combination for mounting the windshield to the fairing is a metal bolt and a PLASTIC acorn nut. I believe this is to prevent people from over tightening them and possibly cracking the windshield or fairing.

But that means they’re not so tight that they won’t loosen from highway wind speeds and vibration. I contacted Memphis Shades via email asking what to use to keep them from coming undone, since you can’t use loctite on plastic and I will likely get or need a new windshield somewhere down the road, so permanent gluing is not a good idea.

Still haven’t gotten an answer. How big or common is this problem? All you have to do is call Memphis Shades and tell them that you lost one or more of these nut/bolts and they’ll send you a complete set (all three pairs) at no charge, no questions asked.

Nuff said. My advice- once you get your fairing and windshield, call Memphis Shades and ask for replacements for the one “you lost” (nudge-nudge, wink-wink). Also don’t forget that the fairing comes off real easy, just like advertised.

That means that anyone who wants it can take it in a heart beat and toss it in the back seat of most cars, so come up with some innovative way of securing it to your ride to discourage the opportunistic thief.

I bought a 6. 5″ windshield but mounting holes didn’t match holes on the fairing. FortNine does not deal with this so you have to contact Memphis Shades directly for a replacement. They replied fast and sent another windshield but holes didn’t match on it either.

I sent them another email but they never replied. Had the same issue with 9″ windshield from Memphis Shade couple years back but that time first replacement shield worked. Not sure if this is a quality control issue at Memphis Shades or what.

I have purchased the 9″ windshield and I am 6’3″ and job got back from a 3,000 Kms. ride through Ontario and the Maritimes. The windshield is defectively not high enough for someone by size. I had wind and rain on my neck and entire face.

Also, the fancy black screws that come with it are no good. Two fell off after approx. 1000 kms. I had to stop at a hardware store and buy new ones with locking washers. It is a good product but if you are over 6′ tall, buy something else.

I’m a big guy, so the stock windscreen didn’t do much for me. I decided on this one because I felt that with this windscreen installed, the bike would still look great and keep the wind from blowing me all over.

Installation was a snap and the fit was perfect. The bike still looks great with this larger windscreen on it and performs great! I’m new to motorcycling, so I have to admit the wind has been a bit of a challenge for me to deal with using the stock windscreen.

But, with this larger one, I have the wind protection I need to build confidence, while keeping the bike looking great. The price is nice too.

2015 Multi 1200S. 6’1″-2″ 33-34 inseam. 196lbs and fit fairly wide shoulders. Looks wise, it is great. I was worried about adding more height, and gaining comfort as the expense of looks, but even in the raised position, it looks good.

Definitely looks higher quality that the stock screen. Fitment is not an issue. The holes don’t line up with NASA precision, but you will have no problems installing this. It doesn’t come with rubber grommets, so you will have to reuse your old ones.

I was kind of disappointed with this, but I won’t knock it since I can see no reason to ever swap back to the stock screen. With the stock screen, in the high position, the wind would hit me about mid nose.

With this screen, the wind hits me at the top of my forehead by the hairline. Wind noise is definitely reduced, but I was hoping for a bit more. Wind blast on my shoulders is reduced as well, but it’s definitely still there.

If I could do it over again I would definitely still buy it, but I would add the visor as well. You get a steep discount on it when you buy it with the windscreen, and if you end up not wanting it, you should have no problem selling it and getting your money back.

I wanted to do this, but it wasn’t in stock at the time. Only the windscreen by itself was available.

The Puig windscreen fits but with some resistance because this shield appears to have more of a curve than the OEM screen. There?s not a real issue getting it to fit but the extra curvature makes the windscreen vibrate to the adjustable riser pretty bad.

So much in fact you can hear it over the engine sound and leaves wear marks on the screen and bike. Tried loosening it a little which helped but 3 out of 5 stars for fitment.

As much as I love my BMW F800GT, the OEM windscreen is a joke. If the goal is to more effectively direct air right at your chest and head when going at highway speeds, the stock windshield is great. Given the more upright riding position of the GT this does not seem like a good design choice by BMW.

The Puig fixes this, and since I put it on my highway riding has become a lot less tiring. I am 6’2″ and the air coming off the Puig does hit the top of my helmet, but it’s worlds better than the stock windshield.

I have only had the Puig for a few weeks, so my 4 out of 5 for Durability is just a guess. Materials seem good but we’ll see how they wear. I gave it a 4 out of 5 for Ease Of Install because the process is pretty simple but some of the holes for the screws and washers are a little too big and it’s tricky to hold them in the right position while tightening down the screw.

Props to Edmond S who posted the installation instructions on 5/2/16 as an answer to a question on the listing. Once you get it screwed down tight the fit is good and I haven’t noticed any shaking at speed.

And did I mention the reasonable price? After owning a BMW for a while you get kind of numb to sticker shock (a non-electronic replacement key is $95? really?) so the reasonable price on this item was a welcome surprise.

I am 6′ tall (and use have the tall comfort seat for F800gt). The screen takes the air off my shoulders and puts it about the top half of the helmet. When I first installed, it had a defining wind turbulence (even at 30 mph) at my helmet.

The buffeting was horrible. The bottom 2/3rds of the screen is shaped exactly like the factory stock windscreen – except it does not have the two opening at the dash controls like the stock. The Puig screen has the indentations where the openings should be, but for some reason Puig does not route them out.

I took a dremel tool and neatly cut the openings as they are on the stock screen. This took away the buffeting and the noise completely. Puig really needs to make this alteration part of their product.

However, if you are skilled (and careful) with a dremel, you can make this fix yourself. My only other minor complaint with the screen is that it is slightly thinner (1mm) than the stock screen.

Not recommended for F800GT. It doesn’t add much in terms of wind protection and increases noise around the helmet significantly. The larger problem was the oscillations above 70 mph on the highway that was very disconcerting.

The wind catches the larger shield on the side and you can feel the bike being pushed diagonally, one way first and then the other.

Got my purchase earlier than I thought I would. Was fragile item. Impressed how well it was wrapped for shipment. Arrived in pristine condition. Will have no problems recommending and buying from hurtle gear again.

At 6″3″ with a very long torso the stock FZ1 screen provided almost no wind protection. I liked the look of the PUIG better than the Zero Gravity Sport Touring Screen, especially since you cant get the ZG in dark smoke anymore (as far as I can tell).

The dark smoke PUIG looks great, fits perfect, and is a huge improvement over stock. My head and part of my shoulders are still in clean air, but the windblast on my chest is much reduced. I don’t notice any new buffeting.

My line of vision is a good foot above the screen so I can’t really say much about optics. It isn’t as cheap as some others, and the construction doesn’t seem overly bomber, but it seems adequate. Overall, I am very happy and would recommend this screen.

I like this wind screen, its slightly taller than the stock one but not so tall that it blocks air to my helmet, it gets just enough wind off of my shoulders and chest that I can ride for quite a bit more distance than with a stock screen.

The main quirk here is that there is a buzz between 4500-4800 RPM that I am fighting to get rid of. A bit of foam in between the screen solved most of it, but its still not as quiet as the stock one.

So far its been durable (almost 2k miles in) but its a lot thinner than I expected. I’d still buy it again, given there aren’t a lot of other options that look this good.

I put 12,000km on my Super Tenere with the stock windshield this summer. I wasn’t able to do over 110km/hour without severe wind buffeting, couldn’t put my visor up over 90km/hour and the noise in my ears made it really hard to hear my music at any speed.

*AFTER* my long trip I’d had enough and purchased this Puig windshield based on all the other reviews I read online. Have been so exceptionally happy with it, and totally kicking myself for not buying it last spring.

Now I am easily able to hit 140km/hour without buffeting or noise and with my visor up! I can ride behind transport trucks without feeling like i’m going to be swept off the road. Also, I should say that I bought this windshield twice.

The first time it arrived broken and FortNine replaced it without any hassle, and the customer service rep personally inspected the replacement shield before it left the warehouse. Excellent customer service.

I will be a long time customer of this company.
