UVARIDER59 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hello Fellow BMW Riders, This is my one-time commercial announcement. I am the Product Manager for ZTechnik. We are based in the Chicago, IL area. You can find product information and support on our website, http://www.ztechnik.com. Our most popular product would be our VStream windshield, for which we have a US Patent. They do a great job of creating a quiet, calm air pocket for the rider and passenger. We now have a 3-Year Warranty against breakage for our BMW windshields. If you have product or support related questions, feel free to send an email to me, its in my signature here. Otherwise feel free to ask any support-related questions here. I am looking forward to being a part of the forum. I just purchased a 2004 K1200GT, so I am sure I will be looking for advice!

tallman Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Jeff, Welcome. '03 GT here. Your short screen is my favorite for warm weather on the GT. Link to comment
boatzo Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Welcome aboard Jeff. I have had a "V" stream windshield going on 2 years now and love it. We will look forward to hearing more from you. Link to comment

bobbybob Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Jeff, welcome. Two questions--are you guys part of National? Also, on the website, the "Ride & Buy" dealers listed for NC are the same ones listed as "just" dealers. So are all the NC dealers Ride & Buy affiliated? And which screen will they have for me to test? I am looking for a better screen for my 2007 F650GS. Thanks! Link to comment
Matts_12GS Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 No products for the 1100RT? I guess it's back to cee bailey's for me Link to comment
rob1100r Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hello and welcome, this board is great! I have the Z4000 exhaust on my 'R'...good stuff! Link to comment
jimfastcar Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I will vouch for how helpful Jeff has been to me on a couple of ocassions. Link to comment
waylap Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 FREE product demos !! (I have an 04 1150RT) Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Just a heads up.... I saw you had Touring Sport BMW in Greenville, SC listed as a dealer that supports your "Ride and Buy" program. I called Joey in parts at Touring Sport today and he was completed surprised that they were listed for this as they have no product to support it. Shawn Link to comment
Effjay Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Welcome Jeff! Another satisfied V-Stream user here - on my former FJR (didn't you previously have one of those?) and now on my RT. I also used and liked National's replacement windscreens on my long ago Yammie XS11 and no so long ago Venture Royale. Jeff Link to comment
Mike05 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Jeff, Welcome to the Board! Fun, & informative place to be. Enjoy your time here. Link to comment
bobbybob Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Just a heads up.... I saw you had Touring Sport BMW in Greenville, SC listed as a dealer that supports your "Ride and Buy" program. I called Joey in parts at Touring Sport today and he was completed surprised that they were listed for this as they have no product to support it. Shawn Shawn, I ran into that also. Although I bought a V-stream for one of my RT's on "faith" (and it is good), I really want to test ride one on my F650GS before purchasing. Hope Jeff sees this. Edit: dropped Jeff an email to the address listed above but the spam filter at National Cycle rejected it as "unsolicited". Which of course it was. I guess ANY msg to Jeff from us would be "unsolicited". Link to comment
UVARIDER59 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 sorry for the spam filter and for not being on the board more often. Recent surgery on my torn rotator cuff from a bike accident ut me out of commission-rehab 5x/ week, etc. The Ride&Buy Icon on my site takes you to the regular dealer list. Only the dealers on this list with the Ride&Buy icon next to their name are Ride&Buy. Sorry for the confusion. I am working to fix this. Link to comment
UVARIDER59 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 we will have a screen for the 1100RT, the Z2401. Should be out in 1-2 weeks! Link to comment
UVARIDER59 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 thanks Mike. Now that I am 10% recovered from rotator cuff surgery and can type (sorta) I will be online here more often! Link to comment
UVARIDER59 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Bobby- For now, we don't have a screen for this bike. This is a challenging bike to build an effective screen-steep screen mounting-a "taller" screen mounted to the stock mounts will just protude towards the rider and interfere with the bars. So we will have to make a new mount of some type. This is a project that we will have in-house in a few weeks. Tell me what height from headlight and what width you'd like to see Link to comment
UVARIDER59 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 yes, we are a brand of National Cycle Link to comment
UVARIDER59 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 I have always been a "K" bike fan, especially up to 2004. I have owned boxers for the most part, in addition to other bikes. Just sold my '69 Honda CB750 (Sandcast Motor) to buy the KGT and pay for the upgrades I will be doing. My last BMW was a 2006 RT. Link to comment
UVARIDER59 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 thanks. I will look foward to learning from you and everyone on the forum, especially on the topic of my "new" '04 KGT Link to comment
Godfather Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi Jeff and welcome from Northern Michigan. (formerly from SW Chicago Burbs) I have the V-Stream on my 08' V-Strom and love it. Link to comment
RT Fan Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi Jeff and welcome. I have a 2008 RT and I will be looking for a new windscreen around April or May. I like your product but I haven't seen any on a RT and I am confused about your height and width offerings. I am in Dubuque, Iowa so maybe this spring I could just cruise on over to your factory in Illinois and have on custom fit...... Ferd Link to comment
UVARIDER59 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 sure, call me or email me and let me know when you're coming Link to comment
UVARIDER59 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Are you from the Oaklawn area, or closer to Orland Park? I was born in Harvey in '59 and lived in Park Forest until age 3 (1962) then up to Mundelein. The V-Strom is a great bike-the 650 or 1000? Link to comment
Godfather Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Oak Lawn area, actually "Burbank" untill I moved out, then to Conmtryside before the move to MI. My siblings and mother are in Orland and Tinley Park now. I am on the 650 V-Strom and enjoy it very much. http://s154.photobucket.com/albums/s279/Godfather053/?action=view¤t=FALL08002.jpg Link to comment

Mugs Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I liked your writeup on the windscreens; basic material and coatings. Prices very competitive. If my RT shield needs replacing I'll certainly look at your product. Welcome aboard. Link to comment
