Hey Folks,
I am considering hard bags for my '93 VN750. Any suggestions as to your favorites?

I am also looking into getting a windshield that extends to cover the front of my hands, or possibly a full fairing. Again, do any of you have these and have any opinions on them?

Thanks

Sorry I can't be more helpful on either item but I do have a National Cycle windshield (cruiser type) on my bike and like it. Seem's to be well made. They also have a shield like your thinking of on their website in case your interested in looking.

The only hard bags ready made are LeatherLykes for about $500 to your door.

Just can't hold to say I absolutely don't find it good looking to have windshield on vn750. I don't know why but it looks ugly to me.

*S* I see you are in NJ Kornolio, which might account for you not seeing a need for a windshield. I say that because you probably haven't dealt with the pelt of a swarm of gnats while cruising across wide open spaces or had to get a death grip on your handlebars so the wind wouldn't push you off the back of your bike. Windshields are a personal choice, choosing comfort in the ride. Personally I could care less what someone thinks of my windshield, or in my case, my full tour fairing. I didn't buy and equip my bike to suit someone else. It suits me and can throughly enjoy my rides.
A few even have a couple of windshields they can swap out. A smaller sport shield for the summer that just keeps the wind from beating your chest, and a larger fairing style for the colder Fall/Winter rides.
Windshields ARE about ride comfort. Personally I also find a nice shield that follows the rake of the bike and extends that line pretty sleek looking.

i found that is one thing i love bout my deflector shield....i can adjust the rake. winter or rain it sits high, and hot summer days or putting around town, it sits low and it move with the twist of 4 nobs....

Hi Flap,
Sounds like you have decided to keep the Vulcan for a while. National Cycle windshields, available from JC Whitney, sounds like a good choice. That is what I put on mine but it is just the small windscreen like your Kawasaki Vulcan screen. The good feature about mine is the quick off / on feature. It does not have the Vulcan insignia etched into it though. That reply with the image of one on the Honda looks like a good choice.
Enjoy,
Sam

I have a short shield I ride with and love it. also I just mounted a hard trunk on my vn750 looks pretty good. Next project Im mounting the hard saddlebags. I got the trunk on ebay for 55 bucks and it locks and looks great.

Take a look at www.tocmanufacturing.com
They make some racks and hard bags for the 750. They are kind of adventure-bike looking things - not real sleek. But they look sturdy and roomy. If you contact them, ask if they will just sell the racks.

I like my windshield. I have had 10 bikes.... 1 without. After riding one bike with a shield, I have installed a shield on every bike afterwards. If you haven't tried a shield on your bike because of the looks, then you are vain and should have bought a custom built chopper and a trailer to haul it around.
