Windshield compatibility?

[1MoreProject]

Hi all,

I picked up a lightly used 2012 super tenere and it has an aftermarket windshield on it that is just a little too tall. As I shop for a new one I notice that some are advertised for the second generation only. What is the difference as far as windshields go on the first and second generation? They look identical to me. I am particularly looking at the touratech windshield mount and medium wind screen.

Thanks for your help!

The 2nd generation windshields mount up to an adjustable bracket and won’t work on the 1st Gen bikes.

Drill some holes in the one you got and lower it down. I have a V-Stream that was too tall in the high position and too low in the next one down so I drilled some hole in it in between and I have the perfect height windshield. JMO

Note: Use a step drill bit for perfect holes.

i have the adjustable touratech windscreen mount, plus the touratech screen on my gen 1, love it, but in the UK you can,t get the gen 1 touratech screen anymore they only have a few gen 2 screens available.
the difference between a gen 1 screen and a gen 2 yamaha screen is the holes in the screens, the gen 1 screen the holes are closer together and mount straight on the bike, the gen 2 bike has a added screen mount that makes the holes in the gen 2 screen need to be wider, BUT if you take the gen 2 screen mount off you can mount a gen 1 screen straight on a gen 2 bike
