here in Singapore, most of 9ners with tall windshields have suffer from crack fairing, a friend spotted on mine and one after another the rest have discovered.

most of us are using Eagle Screen and due to high speed and wind resistance, the fairing is getting cracks... i am not sure yamaha original windscreen users would have this issue. it has to be fixed asap or else cracks will be longer and longer



start from stripping up the fairing. it's relatively easy job.. take out side panels, windshield, fairing around instrument panel, then there's 4 screws to secure the nose fairing (2 up, 2 below the instrument panel) detach pilot light and signal light sockets and off you go.

naked TDM.. (so ugly...)





here are the cracks





i use small pieces of metal grills to reinforce the fairing since i'll still be using tall windshield.

mark for cutting



superglued to make it stable





then apply epoxy to glue them together





so far so good, it's more firm and back to normal condition.. will try to go for speed test later

Thanks for the warning but that is one LARGE screen.
I have the largest Yamaha one on and it isn't even close
to that!!

I'd rather take the bus before fitting a screen like that. Mind you, the bus is probably draftier than that

Kmax travel a lot with his ride, with a tall screen like this..... offered great protection from the rain &
'flying' debris stirred by the 4 wheelers.

Actually it look pretty good with the tinted version.

And of course, riding slower is not an option

that screen is simply too big and lets face it, not really required. wonder if the 'Tiger' screen from Australia will suffer the same fate ?
