Windbender Motorcycle Windshields offer Unsurpassed Wind Protection, Clear Visibility, Wide Adjustment Range, and "No-Tools" Interchangeability!
Originally developed for the Honda Goldwing, our Windbender windshields provide the highest visibility with unsurpassed wind protection and our top shields will come off for cleaning or exchanging without tools!
What makes the Windbender different? A typical windshield configuration as it comes from the factory and like many aftermarket shapes available, by nature, create a low pressure area directly behind the windshield. The wind buffeting on the helmet and shoulders felt by the rider and co-rider is the effect of the air flow collapsing before it has a chance to get very far past the trailing edge of the windshield. If the windshield is big enough, the rider may find some calm air, but it would be unusual for the co-rider to avoid the turbulent airflow. In addition to that, other problems now arise, reduced clarity from looking through another layer of plastic is just one. By making the Windbender a two piece windshield assembly, air coming up the back side of the windshield reduces the low pressure area typically found on the standard configuration. This allows the air to be more stable and to hold its flow profile longer, allowing a more stable airflow environment for both the rider and co-rider. In addition to this benefit, motorcycling is back to its pure form; not hiding behind a windshield. Watch our Video.
Windbender HP and Windbender ST are our new state of the art, high performance, luxury windshields. They have been designed by Firecreek Accessories engineers using our finest aerodynamic programs and testing techniques. This windshield delivers more than you could ever dream of - a bubble of luxurious air.
We currently manufacture windshields for both the Honda GL1800 and the GL1500 Goldwings. Our 15" HP (High Performance) shields are available in clear or light bronze; and our 11"HP-S (High Performance Sport) is available in clear, bronze or dark smoke tints. Our ST (Straight Top) shields have been improved for higher air lift over the rider and are available in four sizes in clear or bronze.
Windbender Base Units are shipped in dark smoke by default to hide the dash in lieu of the decal on the stock shield, but we now offer base units in clear or bronze, at the same price, if you wish to match your top shield. Simply put a note in the shipping instructions box during the order process and we'll ship the color you desire.
Windbenders allow an unprecedented amount of vertical adjustment. The stock windshield adjustment is retained plus we add an extra 4" of adjustment with the manual Windbender rails and 4" with our new electric option. Additionally there are slots in all top shields that offer over an inch of adjustment. You will always be able to find the "sweet-spot" with a Windbender!
Standard Manual Adjustment is accomplished with a quick release clevis pin in each rail - simply pull the pins, set the top shield where you want it and put the pins back in.
Our new Spring Loaded Locating Pin is NOW available. This item will stop the "Windbender Rattle" sometimes experienced at low speeds and you'll never drop another pin. Pull out to release - turn 90°, adjust your shield -turn 90° to engage the pin and lock your shield in place. Click for more info. Click to order.
Our new, easy to install, electric adjust option is ready to ship!
Our New Electric Adjust Option is available for all Windbender windshields. It can be added to a Windbender at any time. See it Here.
Windbenders are coming soon to the Harley Davidson Electra Glide, the BMW GS series and Cruisers!
Our manual and electrically adjustable Windbenders will soon be available for fork mounted windshields!
Individual Windbender components are available for additional shields, replacements, spares and custom applications.
Our Exchange/Return Policy is second to none: Don't like the shield version you first bought? Send it back, pay the difference and we'll send you a larger shield for the price of shipping. If your shield is too large: send it back and we'll deduct the difference in price from the shipping on your replacement. All returns must be made in "AS NEW" condition or a $50 restocking/cleaning fee will apply.
Trial Program: We are so sure you'll like your Windbender that we'll let you buy one, put it on your bike and take it for a few test rides to find your personal sweet spot. If you absolutely do not like it and want to return the whole kit, we only ask that you send it back to us as clean as we sent it to you. A full refund, less the appropriate fee, will be credited to your card. FEES: There will be a $50 resurfacing fee for all returned Windbender kits. We don't expect the base shield to be perfect - it will never be perfect after installation - that's what the resurfacing fee is for. If you send your kit back with a dirty or scratched top shield, the fee will be $100.
There is no reason to settle for second best. Don't push the wind when you can bend it! Windbender, high performance windshields by Firecreek.

WARNING Firecreek Accessories advocates the use of proper eye protection. Even though it's entirely possible to experience calm conditions looking over the top of the Windbender windshield, as with all windshields, heavy objects like gravel or hard shell bugs can penetrate the wind layer and cause eye injury.
