GearedForACure Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I need a new windscreen for my 99 r1100rt, it is scratched. I was wondering if they are the same as the 1150RT windscreens. Link to comment
chrisolson Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 The early shields had 3 mounting holes, the later shields have 2. However, the third hole was centered between the outer two and used to secure the black mounting pieces to the shield, not to the lift mechanism. The two lift mechanism holes match, consequently you can use the later shields on a '99. So, you can either cut off the mounting nipple on the earlier black pieces or do as I did and order two newer style pieces for about $5 each - an easy expense rationalization since your old ones are probably weathered and faded anyway Link to comment
smiller Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Another option is to drill the two missing holes in the new screen, which doesn't require modifying the existing mounting bracket or ordering any new parts. Use masking tape and go slow and it's an easy job. Link to comment
GordonB Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 But.....If you want to have some fun; Since you're planning to replace it...before you doooooo. Buy some hvy duty plastic polish and try buffing out the scratches. You'll be amazed. Feel free to PayPal me with the money you saved on the replacement sheild Link to comment

90RedRider Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I was thinking the w/s for the 04's were different. Will shield from an 04 fit all the 1150's? Link to comment
SDMike Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I was thinking the w/s for the 04's were different. Will shield from an 04 fit all the 1150's? the holes in the 04 screen are in a slightly different spot. The screen still fits, but its not exact M Link to comment
outpost22 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I need a new windscreen for my 99 r1100rt, it is scratched. I was wondering if they are the same as the 1150RT windscreens. Are you looking to replace it with a stocker? If so send me a p.m as I have a stocker sitting in a box that came off my '96 RT. Link to comment
