G- $1,800 is a 'lil swollen, but then again rolling up to the tiki bar with my $70.00 fresh cut not all janked up from the wind is PRICELESS!!!!!!!

i may try to find the company that actually make them for Cig.....

Yes it has a matching pad that covers all of the attatchments.
It's sorta a big deal to install from what I learned. I figured it just attached to the padded lip and that was it. It requires some labor and drilling to properly install.

You need to talk to Brian (Sydwayz) about the Gell he uses ... it made his hair into a windscreen. When the wind hit his Do, not one strand of hair moved, but the result was Norty's Sunseeker listing to one side

I think Cigarette fabricates the windscreens inhouse.

I have a wind screen on my Tiger which the dealer scratched. I have most of the scratches out however, like some wind screens, I have cracks around the screw holes and it's not as clear as I would like. A new one with rubber sleeves (that GLH has mention) sounds good to me.

Are you guys talking to Cigarette directly ?? (Cigarette 1 mentioned Phill) Can you give any particulars or who I might contact for a new screen?

Thanks, InXS

Call Venessa with Lip-Ship 305-933-9988 she'll make sure you get a price and when she could ship it out I talked to Phil and her this AM for mine so they should have answers soon.

Sure do! I was wondering if you guys ended up with the picture. When we took it I never saw the copy. That was a great night and trip. Can't wait for the next one.

I have to agree ...the lexan windshields do a much better job at deflecting the wind....However......OSO Steve told me he was going to call me "Grandpa" if I didnt take mine off.......

I have to agree though...I dont think they look as nice...at least not on the Gladiator....but I think I will be keeping it none the less.....

Get the etched Cigarette logo from Phil for it. It looks really sharp. It's a decal that gives the illusion of being etched. You don't have to remove it.
