www.uralchicago.com had one left as of friday afternoon when i picked my blur up and took one of the two windshields they had available. They also had a blur rear rack available too. Not sure if they will deal with shipping it out for you thou.

Supply and demand, my friend...

You'll be back when you can't find one anywhere, and then the price is gonna go up even more.

Well, just installed my windshield after work today. Wasn't too big a project to tackle. Stupid thing didnt line up quite right at first, so I had to pull an incredible hulk on the support posts, but its close enough now. I may go back and tweak it just a little more later in the week. But I do have to say that I kinda like it. I was hesitant to put it on and ruin the clean sporty look of the front end, but it really looks good installed. Also, my helmet has pretty decent ventilation, and the windshield directs even more fresh air into the helmet at speed. Totally worth installing.

GF, did yours come with any instructions?? I got mine in the mail from my dealer - redirected shipping direct from Scooterworks but there was nothing but the WS, 2 brackets and a bag of hardware in the box. is there an exploded view of the assembly available??

Posted: **Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:22 pm**

nope nun come with instructions i looked at some pics on here to see how it went together. not hard at all took about 20 mins to but on.

Posted: **Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:47 pm**

that's what I was afraid of - since it came (kinda) directly from the source. I have a general idea based on the photos I've seen but I'm not sure how and where to use the washers & such.

do the oval pieces just break off to give access to the WS frame attachment points?

I did a writeup for installing the Blur windshield last week or so. Just look for it, its in here somewhere.

I did not get instructions either, buts its not that hard to figure out.

I (just now) re-titled it and moved it to the tech library:

I linked back to this thread on the tech thread, so people could see the photos. Thanks, G-Frid and Justscooten!

No prob. From all my years modifying vehicles, this windshield ranks on a scale of 1-10, a 2 or maybe 3 depending on your skill with basic tools. It was really super easy once you visualize how the pieces go together. The hard part is getting the windshield to line up perfect once you have all the pieces assembled before tightening down the large bolts to the steering column.

you bet no prob man hope they help

Well uralchicago.com couldn't find the last windshield they THOUGHT they had in stock--which had my name on it, so I need a windshield too. I ordered one from Eco Moto 'cause it looked like they had it in stock but turns out they did not.

And Scooterworks has no idea if/when they will get more while Eco Moto thinks they'll get more in a week.

No Eco Moto's windshields will be coming from Genuine--which is right next door to Scooterworks--shouldn't Scooterworks get them quicker and have a better idea when they will be back?? You would think so. But you would be wrong.

So if anyone knows a place with the Blur shield in stock please let me know. Or has anyone used any OTHER shields (Prima, Givi, etc) on a Blur? Would it work? I liked the old Med. Buddy windshield alot.
