thanks for posting a pic, first red/white gade I have seen so far. I must be getting old because that windshield looks cold.
I'm going to order the same windshield that came on my wife's 09 GSX 1200 with the mirrors built in it. nice looking sled though, I have a set of 6.9 white/black skis sitting in the barn ready to bolt on it also when it gets here.
I was at a dealer the other day looking at an X model and noticed that the cowling on the side does not have the two grommet holes (on each side) that the side deflectors (separate from the center windshield and the part the mirrors attach to) connect to. No idea what you would have to do in order to put side deflectors on an X model, or if it is even possible. I'm sure they have something.
btw - totally agree with you. That sled looks awesome, but after having a short windshield on my last sled, I want at least a medium to high. It can get a little chilly above 60mph on open trails, not to meantion fighting wind resistance. It looks good with a short windshield, but functionally it doesn't fit my riding. Sad truth is when you get old, function becomes more important than fashion. Its all personal preference I guess...but don't get me wrong, I'd still give my left one for this sled!
