Ok cool, I just ordered a "touring" windscreen (looks taller) from Poland, we will see how it goes...

Edit: I just got a message from the seller asking me what color I wanted? And I have no idea what the answer is because I didn't know that there was a color choice for the windscreen LOL. So I guess one could say that maybe this isn't going the best...

Hi
New member of this group from "middle" of Norway. Has been driving my big white Varadero from 2015. Present in store for winter until late april I guess. Up here we don't drive a nice bike during winter (to much ice and snow..). Done 61000km on it sins 2015. Fit my long body good and even better after some small tweaks  VCIF_salut

I am 177 cm tall (5'10"?).
My stock FI Varadero was ok for me. I could see above the screen but the air was sent to my helmet.

I would go for something taller, like my present AfricaTwin. More sensitive to wind, but you can ride with your helmet visor open. Also, when relaxed, you see the road through the bike screen, so you'd better keep it clean (unlike me)

Did the windscreen change when the bikes went Fuel Injection?  If so, that simplifies my choices.  I'm 5'11", and I intend to ride the tires off this thing.

Quote from: barrysuperhawk on March 19, 2025, 18:25:43So now I am in the market for a windscreen.  I have found some on eBay in Poland, are those ok?  Also, opinions on stock, touring or extra tall?

AND did the windscreens change at all during the run?  One of the eBay listings above lists 03-11, which makes me wonder...

The top and bottom ones are for the FI version that followed the carb version that you have.

"stock, touring or extra tall?" - What are you going to use the bike for ?

Great news "I have the bike"
Not so great news, the shipper broke the windscreen:

Well...
As you surely have seen.
Winner is Rainer (Meine Dicke).
No doubt about that!

I have told the embroidering lady to start working, and her company will also make the stickers and a couple of VSG (very secret gifts).

Anne-Gro and I are still in Chile, but we will be back in Norway Monday 24th March - for a couple of weeks  ;D

That is one possibility, but it seems to have a speedo in miles, and I I thought all the Canuck bikes were in KM/h

Quote from: barrysuperhawk on March 16, 2025, 03:38:39So, I have questions.  One thing I was unable to get from the dealer was any kind of provenance on this bike, I don't know how it got in the states in the first place.   

Imported from Canada Or ???.
