FrugalNinja250 December 29th, 2010, 07:20 AM Dang... I'm on my second one, first one got taken out by a Toyota truck. :( TonyKZ1 January 3rd, 2011, 08:15 AM Yep, I was just on his website and noticed he had posted that his shop is currently closed, might reopen for the summer riding season. I've been wanting to replace the euro windscreen I had bought from him sometime ago, and then destroyed in a wreck back in Oct '09, after rebuilding the bike I re-installed the original shield. I may just buy another ZG Double Bubble, but there's also a guy on ebay that's selling ones similar to mike's but they're not as tall. Tony M January 7th, 2011, 10:36 AM You're best bet for the time being is to make one yourself. There are a few threads about the DIY process. Firebrick January 9th, 2011, 08:26 PM Ordered a jurock. $$$. Will see how it works. JeffM January 9th, 2011, 10:51 PM Ordered a jurock. $$$. Will see how it works. Link? JeffM April 24th, 2011, 08:34 AM Looks like Mike's is back in business. :D http://www.mikesshields.com/ 4x4kayak2112 April 26th, 2011, 05:28 PM Link? http://www.7jurock.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=324 still like mikes better "A" April 27th, 2011, 05:46 AM Just received my windshield this week.. installed: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/cat0020/Motorcycling/2004%20Ninja%20250/IMG_4528.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/cat0020/Motorcycling/2004%20Ninja%20250/IMG_4539.jpg Put some plastic spacers and rubber washers to reduce the air pressure difference at speed. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v237/cat0020/Motorcycling/2004%20Ninja%20250/IMG_4541.jpg JeffM April 27th, 2011, 06:58 AM Looks great. Is that the Euro or the Euro GT? Like the idea with the spacers to reduce negitive pressure behind the screen. Did it work? Jeff "A" April 27th, 2011, 07:35 AM Looks great. Is that the Euro or the Euro GT? Like the idea with the spacers to reduce negitive pressure behind the screen. Did it work? Jeff Just a Euro screen, taller than I thought it would be.. maybe I should have gone with a Euro sport. I have been out on local jaunts with the new screen.. no sustained highway cruises yet.. so far it does a good job of deflecting the wind off the shoulders/helmet.. if I lay on top of my tank bag, I get to hear near zero wind noise, but much more mechanical noise. highpsiguy May 12th, 2012, 07:51 AM We have identical bikes and I have ordered the exact shield as you have in the pics from Mike. Mine should be in soon ( have waited a month now). I was wondering if you could update me on how it is working for you. BTW I am 6ft 4 with 34 inseam. Thanks. N-m April 16th, 2014, 05:49 PM I am bringing this old thread up in the hopes someone can give us a current review with a lot of miles. Thanks. ninjamunky85 April 16th, 2014, 06:39 PM I used to have one of Mike's shields on my '04 ninja. I got mine just a few months before he stopped making them. I had the sport shield, which wasn't super tall but was wide. I really liked it. http://i1239.photobucket.com/albums/ff519/ninjamunky85/CIMG0057.jpg (http://s1239.photobucket.com/user/ninjamunky85/media/CIMG0057.jpg.html) I ended up selling it to one of the members here. Don't remember who exactly right now, but it was a unique shield for the pre-gen. |
