I'm looking for the shortest/smallest windscreen i can find for my XB12 '06. Any suggestions? |

The stock XB12X windscreen is the shortest you can get other than running without any windscreen. |

I was hoping for a 3rd party option, darn. Right now I'm riding without one, I'm really enjoy the difference. My endurance is double. |

If you are crafty with a dremmel, you can pick up a new stock short windshield, they are not very expensive ($60), and then trim it down as needed. The stock windscreen is very short, which is why there are no aftermarket shorter options. Are you sure you have the short one? The bike in your profile picture has the tall one equipped.

Right, you right... I forgot I had the tall screen. I bought mine used and the previous owner must have had it come with one. Thanks for the heads up. |

Those two you see on Amazon are the same height as your current windshield, with the difference between those two being that one is smoke and one is clear. The only difference between a Buell Tall windscreen and the Zero Gravity is the lip at the top, the Buell screen curves up at the top while the ZG stays straight. You can get a new stock height one for about $60 at any Buell dealer Clear - http://www.latus-harley-davidson.com/WINDSCREEN-CL EAR.htm Smoke - http://www.latus-harley-davidson.com/WINDSCREEN-TR ANSLUCENT-SMOKE-2.htm If I remember right, the windscreens do not come with the mounting pins so you would have to transfer them from the old windscreen, but instead I recommend getting adjustable mounting brackets http://s410372035.initial-website.co.uk/accessorie s/select-bike/buell-xb12x-xt/ |

When I bought my Uly used it came with that tall screen (and the original short screen). I hated the tall screen, so I gave it to Alex Prior. Who used it for about the same amount of time I did, hated it too, and donated it to a fund raiser auction. I think some people like them, but many people can't stand them. So buy a short one, like Frank says the cost isn't insane ($60). I got a smoked one when my original got Corolla smeared all over it and became a wall decoration |

This looks like the replacement I got. The smoke looks nice. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buell-Ulysses-Tinted-Winds creen-M0600-1AKMCD-NEW-XB12X-XB12XT-/261181742923? pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ccfa51f 4b&vxp=mtr |
