Windshields
I am looking for a windshield. Most ask for 7/8-1 in. handlebars. What part of the handle bar are they talking about?

Windshield
If you buy a handlebar mounted windshield, you'll need one for a 7/8" handlebar. The mounts usually connect via a clamp to the vertical part of the bar or the lower horizontal part.

If you get a "universal" mount, it will come with 1" clamps and inserts to cut it down to 7/8.

Wind shields
I measured my handle bars they are more than than an inch around.
That's why I ask. I put a bid on a National cycle plexistar 2.I am hoping to win and slap that sucker on my bike...I would like some suggestions in case I don't win. Thank you guys for the input.

I gave a recommendation for the shield I have in another message just a couple of days ago. If you didn't see it, please look around a bit.

Are you the one that outbid me on that?? I hope you got it. I, too, have been trying to figure out which of the 3million or so windshields available to put on my bike. The thread that I link to in my last post has a weblink to a site that has a fair selection of shields, as well as many other things, for our bikes. I have also been looking at http://www.powersportsuperstore.com. They have a huge selection

Out Bid.
No, I don't think I am the one that outbid you. I lost too. I was very disappointed.
