No, I've seen the long type like rndef's reference, but was intrigued by yours because, although it's a bit of a halfway house - likely not the best for long-distance tarmac touring - it really suits the look of the bike (unlike the tall ones).
Ah ok, you have got me intrigued now, will have to look when I get home...

try looking at this windshield-shop.com > YAMAHA > XT 600 E

Maybe a bit smaller then the previous ones you have seen

Is that like yours, then? Is it mounted like that? If so, maybe it's worth giving the Streetshield or Roadshield a try.

Hi mate, I have sold the bike now as I am living in Thailand and working in Iraq, it was not cost efective to bring over, but I did do around 8 weeks in the Balkans on her also, the link for the RR is in the signature block below. The bike was great and i was sad to see her go.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
