FZR400 Genesis Windscreen

Post by evan_calgary »

Hi All,

I am in the search for a windscreen for my genesis. Its a heck of a chore it seems. I ordered one from China but it didn't fit. It is similar to this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dark-Smoke-Blac ... 12&vxp=mtr

From the listing it looked like it would but the curve between the 2nd and 3rd bolt holes came back far too close to the rider and the front was not wide enough.

Are these just poorly cut screens or am I missing something? Its quite possible they are just crap cut but figured worth an ask. My bike looks exactly like this one, Cdn model:

Any other ideas for windscreens that won't break the bank.

https://www.mrashop.de/com/selection-by ... a/fzr-400/ MIght help..they have also contributors in different other countries than germany, so it should not be a big deal to find a shop wich sells the mra-windshields near your location ;)

I am in Canada. That mra shop one will sort out to close to 200cdn dollars by the time it is at my house which is totally unreasonable for a windscreen. Thank you for the options though.

Evan....I think the seller has sent you an fzr 600 screen.
The 600 and the 1988 3EN1 400 screen are the same BUT neither fit your model.
Many sellers do not realise the model differences.

I got a Genesis screen from China and it fitted perfectly.

I bought mine from http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/61 ... windscreen but they said that they were cancelling making these and now when I look they only are selling for FZR600s, not sure if they would fit.
Thanks,

ASnyder

Quick update. Screen arrived and fit a lot better. It still had to be modified but I can't confirm this was not due to my repairs. The screen was partially cracked but I have chosen to just use it anyways since this all started way back in October to get a darn windscreen.
