Thanks for the heads-up! Figured I'd get one sooner or later, but now it's sooner.

B,
no, I have one already....that's funny though....
I paid I think 90 bucks or so through my dealer.
now, if I can just figure out a way to make it bigger for spring and fall.
In the heat of July and August, I wish it had vents

I ordered the windscreen on Friday, along with a few oil filters. Everything "rang up" OK and the order was "in process". I checked back today and the windscreen is missing from the order, but the oil filters are still there.
Tried calling, but they're closed on Mondays. Methinks someone's gonna get an earful tomorrow morning.

yeap . . . no longer on their clearance page.

Yeah, I see that they're gone. However, they were still shown after my order had been submitted. Seems to me that order entry and inventory should be linked, no? i.e., process an order, knock down the inventory by the number of units purchased, stop offering the item when inventory reaches zero.
Or maybe I'm just hallucinating.....

I emailed two companies today asking them if they would reproduce the original windshield, but manufacture it slightly larger - taller and/or wider.
I'll let you all know if I hear anything.
bummer, must have been one of those 'Best Buy' sales, yeah come on in -
oh sorry we're out.

Finally got a response from scooterwest....
Seems that they only had 1 (one) Blur windshield in stock, but they can't find the mounting hardware. So, it would appear that they had to pull the item.
I had also ordered a bunch of oil filters and they asked if I still wanted them. Without the savings from the windshield discount, however, the shipping cost was more than I wanted to pay. So, I cancelled the order and re-ordered from scooterworks, saving a few bucks in the process.
Bottom line: if scooterwest puts the windshield back on clearance, act fast, and make sure that the mounting hardware is included.

Blur windshield

FYI - I got a blur windshield installed at my dealer and it makes a huge difference. The bike feels a lot more stable at high speed, especially if there is a headwind.
Also, don't get one if you don't wear a full-face helmet. It throws the wind up into your face, which doesn't bother me, but it might bother some.

Windshields available at Scooterville in MN

Well my dealer (uralchicago.com) couldn't find that last Blur windshield he thought he had in stock and everyone else seemed to be out (incl Eco Moto which at the time I ordered SAID they had some on their wbesite). In fact Scooterworks quoted me 2-6 weeks and that's not a "firm e.t.a." it may not show up at all...
So I found one at Scooterville in MN and they are shipping it to me. It t'ain't cheap but if you want one they seem to have at least a couple left.
Thanks to the instructions posted here on the board, I'll try my hand at installing it myself when it shows up.

Dirk, the install is cakewalk if you have even a basic knowldege of hand tools.
Sorry to hear of Ural / Ture Imports losing your windshield like that.
Im glad I did get one when I did from the sounds of it! And to think I was going to pass on it and get it later. Who knows if later is even a possibility.
The one thing about the Blur windshield that I really dont care for so far, is that its Amber, not Charcoal / Graphite. The color of the windshield just doesnt match well to the rest of the scooter. Other than that, I dont have any complaints, and love the extra wind that gets blown up into my helmet on hot days to keep cool!
