I have the "original" Twisted Throttle version. It is an improvement but not a complete fix for me. Wish I would have sprung the extra bucks for the new larger version. Also, just get the upper portion to add to original windshield. I bought the whole unit. The lower portion is the same size as OEM. My 2 cents.

It is a little pricey, however I have used it on three different bikes so it was a good value for me.

Here is my 08 KLR after a little visual make-over. It's a green bike under the PlastiDip. My shrouds were scuffed up and the bike was looking a little tired. I decided to take a little inspiration from the Rolling Stones and paint it black. What do you guys think?

What's the secret? Armor-All dip? A light spray of floor wax?

But yeah - nice bike. I like it.
Washing a KLR is a sin you know.........

That looks great. Good idea with that type of paint.

Almost done with my blacked out KLR. Painting the rear right now, have one more coat to add then I'll stick it back on.



When it clears up I'll try to get some pics

All that work so you don't see the soot from the exhaust, eh?
