Looking for a wider shield, doesn't need to be any taller than stock, looking for width.

In clear or lite tint, nothing dark.

V-Stream's have always been a favorite on other bikes.

I'm sure the Yamaha touring screen is wider, not sure by how much, problem is, it is also higher so may rule out that option for you.

Try Slipscreen. They make aftermarket screens for these bikes and will offer shorter or longer versions and possibly wider too. I had a barn door of a screen fitted to my Strom (taller and wider) from these guys but took it off as it was so wide that it hit the mirrors on full lock. That's an MOT no no and it didn't cure the buffeting. I know they also make winglets for the super 10 too. Worth giving them a shout.

I recently put a VStream sport touring shield on my 2018 Tenere , yes it’s wider but not a lot wider, and taller by 4 inches so it does work a little better than the stock shield for me. My only complaint is it’s tinted, I would prefer clear but they don’t make it in clear.
On my previous 2013 I had the Touring VStream and it was clear, my only complaint about that shield was it was slightly to tall for me but it was great at keeping most bugs off my face shield, there are no bugs around here this time of year so I’m going to have to wait until next spring to find out how well the Sport Touring VStream handles bugs but if it does a decent job preventing bugs getting plastered to my faceshield I will be very happy with my choice.
If you click on the link it’s very easy to compare all three VStream windshields made for the second generation Tenere .

Off topic perhaps, but Slipscreen make superb factory copy winglets for the Super Ten and they come with all fitting screws and at less than half the price of Yamaha items, and yes, they do ship to all other countries.

By the design of the bike, you can only go so wide before hitting the bars.
So turbulence (in traffic) and side winds will always get you..........unless,
you do something radically different.
My winter/travel shield is 18" wide and I could have gone wider.
Nice pocket of protection.

Are you looking for advice or seeing if one's for sale? I have a light tint "Sport tour" V-stream for sale. Lightly used. Tiny little nick in the black coating of the lower section. Just noticed when I went to the basement to check it out. Otherwise used for one short trip. No other marks. Fits 2014 and later. $100 plus shipping.

Looking for width, I’m fine with the stock height.

I’ve considered V-Stream but they are not much wider than stock.
I’ll keep it in mine, might as well post it in the For Sale section. Thanks

It's actually quite a bit wider than stock as it tapers up toward the top. Anyway, I've got a lot of ST stuff to sell which some day I'll get around to.
