Non genuine question. Yamaha vino windshield question

Post by KooK »

I fell upon a great deal for a 2009 Yamaha vino 125. Bought it for $900 and it only had 125 Miles on it,. So practically brand new. I have a windshield on it. And the bouncing in the roads causes it to hit the headlight housing. I had a quick idea about a hose over the end to quit it from banging. But I am asking if anyone of you had any helpful hints to stop the banging.

Thanks.

Is this the type of windshield you have? It's the bottom of the windshield is hitting the top of the headlight housing?

You can add risers at your mirror mounts to raise the windshield. Most OE Yamaha windshield come with them new. M8X1.25 thread. One RH, one LH.

8mm risers are hard to find. You can use these, but you would have to switch to 10mm mirrors (one LH, on RH):
