Hi all. Finally started production of 5th gen. Bug Busters. Smoothing of the process is ongoing. Got the first one off. (Got a bit heavy on the clear coat). Need to take this one down and re-clear, but you get the idea. I'm afraid it's black only now. C.F. and texilums are in the works. They are what they are.

Rivcyko,

How Much are they for the fifth gen?
What are you charging for shipping to Oregon?

HUrry up Travis - we almost lost MCREW to a vicious bee attack yesterday. THe poor Bastage had to jump off his bike, rip his gear off and get out of his one piece leathers to get the bee out that went in through the neck. He got stung once, and maybe bitten - I didn't think bees could sting twice in a row?

I continue to love my bug blocker - it works!!

Ken,when I got home,I found two more of those suckers one dead and another crawling in the inner liner of my leathers... blink.gif

Vince,

As they are not as difficult as 6th gens. and only black, $60.00 + $5.00 ship in the U.S.

These are for stockers. Can you P.M. me Measurements of the opening size? Could make a mold for them also. Modding a mold for these would not be as difficult, as it mounts totally on the outside, of the windscreen. Z.G., to be honest has been a thorn in my side, on 6th. gens.

I would, at that point, be looking for testers, locally, and in the states.

Hey Hawglet!

Are you going to do some CF ones? I'd be interested in that.

Abso-tivly, pos-olutly. Wanna get a few reactions to the regular ones, re-qualify mold, then, it's on. (Don't want to waste C.F. on oopsies.)

Rivcyko,

I have a zero gravity double buble on my bike. Are you doing screens for these? Do you need measurements?

And are they going to be carbon fibre?

Yes still need measurments. I can do C.F.

Can't post pics. Check my gallery.

Sorry Trav, I've been without internet service for a while due to moving and buying a new house (well, the first but still...). I went without a job for about a month in order to get everything in order, get packed and moved, plus getting everything going. I'm in the midst of trying to recoup the checking acct. so I'll let you know in a couple of weeks but I definatly want one since I've bugged you so much. Thanks for the PM reminder.

OK, cool. I like the look of the whole deal. I'm just not too commited to keeping my bike red, so I'd rather have the CF. I figure that goes with anything! cool.gif

Do you know if these will also fit the GIVI tall screen?

I don't know. If the 6th gens are any tell tail, I would say the chances are good, but there has been no test. (hint-hint). Got dimensions?
#18
ME WANT!!!

I got a short Targa though? How do I take the measurements in a meaningful way?
#19
Miguel,

I have pics in my gallery, that show the measurments I need. The next best is buying one of each windscreen, and yadd, yadda,..Too broke to do that again. LOL. It gets expensive quick.

They are designed to accept some variances, but not more than 1/8" or so.
#20
Selfish bump.

KPerham,

You want a black or silver grill?
#21
Got a 5th., and a C.F. 6th. P.M., if interested. Not perfect, but nothing ever is. D-oh. LOL.

I have a 5th Gen with a ZG Touring shield, if you like I can ship my shield to you to confirm fit to a ZG shield. If you do not think it is necesary for you to use my ZG that is ok too. I would love a CF version if possible, let me know how much, it would go well with the CF dash & yoke cover I got.

All I need are these three dims.

While I do appreciate it, they are close enough, that if I had these dims., I could tell you if it fits, or I have to re-mold.
#24
Bump. No-one has any measurments? No demand?
#26
Rivcyko, Oct 14 2006, 12:28 AM
Bump. Still none? Geeze.

Updated my page, a bit. NEW instructions!
http://home.comcast.net/~tpaul11/bugbuster...all2/page1.html

LOL. Need to translate to word files, next.

New ones for 6th gens, too.


You guys need to buy these!!! I just installed one on my 6th gen and Trav's work is top notch!

Check mine out here (I will post installed pics tomorrow)

These should come stock on all VFRs. I can't wait to clean the dead ba$tards out of my new bug buster biggrin.gif
#27
Thanks Will and Kevin. Glad you guys like them. Feel free to post your take on them, after install, and some miles. (That's the true test). Good or bad. Thank you again.

Can someone dxplain what these things actually do?

I'm having a hard time recognizing the problem with that open gap in the front of the windshield.
