Universal Cruiser LIPs and Small Universal
If you own a cruiser, there is a good chance that one of our Universal Cruiser LIPs will work with your shield. It helps to have the basic "Tombstone" style shield, but a relatively shallow shield that only curves in one plane (side-to-side) will probably accept a Universal Cruiser LIP. Three LIP sizes are available for Cruiser style shields, the 21½", the 17½", and the 14".
To determine which size will best fit your shield take the "cord" measurement of your shield. This is the width of the shield from behind the shield (measuring edge-to-edge only, straight across, not measuring the curve, as if you were measuring the "cord" of an archery bow), taken from approximately 4" down from the top of the shield. If this measurement is:
- -At least 14", but no more than 17½"---Get the 14" Universal Cruiser LIP
- -At least 17½", but no more than 21½"---Get the 17½" Universal Cruiser LIP
- -At least 21½" ---Get the 21½" Universal Cruiser LIP
Small Universal LIP (aka 10" Universal)
The Small universal LIP (U1110) will need at least 10" of width (measured in the same manner as for the Universal Cruiser LIPs mentioned above). It really is similar to our 14" Universal Cruiser LIP, but with a much more pronounced curve. This makes it suitable for a wide variety of sport bike style shields. A short list of known applications can be seen further down this page, and we make every attempt to update this list, however, if you don't see your application listed here, please refrain from calling us and asking "Does your small Universal fit on a (insert bike model here) with a (insert aftermarket shield here) ?? We probably don't know either...However, if you have purchased this LIP and it does happen to fit your bike/shield setup, by all means, let us know, and we'll add it to the list.
