LIPs for Cruiser Styled Motorcycles

Note: If you are looking through your windshield as you ride the LIP probably will not be a good solution to your buffeting problems because it too would be in your line of vision. If you look over the top of the windshield the LIP may help with buffeting and turbulence. It is hard to say that the LIP will definitely help because on cruiser windshields the turbulence may be coming from the bottom or sides of the shield.

Six types of LIPs for cruiser style motorcycle are available:

Harley Davidson Road King Harley Davidson Glide Series

See the new Universal Cruiser EARs too

Yamaha Road Star Moto Guzzi California EV

Wind Vest 14" Honda Valkyrie Touring Shield

Harley Davidson Road Glide Universal Cruiser LIPs 10",14", 17 1/2" and 21 1/2

UNIVERSAL CRUISER LIPS

The Universal Cruiser LIPs are made to fit this generic windshield style. The windshield must be curved in only one plane, as a piece of paper may be curved, that is side to side. The surface plane, bottom to top, must be straight at least for the top 10 inches. The windshield at the top must be at least the published width of the LIP at a point about 3 inches below the top of the shield at the center. These measurements need be made on the back side of the windshield, straight across, side to side. These LIPs are made to adjust to different curvatures in the side to side direction. As stated above, if you are now looking through the windshield when you ride do not get the LIP. These LIPs are attached to the windshields with 3M (TM) Dual Lock, this two part material tapes to the shield and may be separated (like velcro) to allow removal and reinstallation of the LIP. This Dual Lock material is very strong. There is great flexibility in how high the LIP is mounted on the shield to allow tuning for personal preference. The LIPs may be temporarily mounted at the sides with duct tape to allow quick adjustments prior to semi-permanent mounting. The 10" LIP below is made for windshields very narrow at the top and also very curved side to side. The published LIP size is the smallest recommended windshield width not the width of the LIP.
