touring windshield for V7. Grab it while you can!

I was tempted because of the price but don's see myself actually using such a monstrosity on my bike.  Someone that wants to tour on the V7 in the cooler months might want to jump on this.

Wow.  That's... wow.  Also useful for sledding and watersports.

Edited to add:  having said that, I value comfort above all else.  Might be just the ticket for winter travel as you mention.

I use one that size on my BMW R100R.  With heated grips, hand guards and leg shields it gives very good protection and is quiet with an open faced helmet.

It looks like Plexifaring 3.  National Cycle doesn't show a fit for V7.

I had one on my EV and it was perfect  until my mechanic broke it.  Unfortunately, they don't make the model for the EV anymore and  the Plexistar replacement is not nearly as good.  To do it over again, I'd get the P3 and take after it with a hairdryer  and a saw.

Just curious, does the V7 have the same sized headlight as the EV?  If so, this might be a good candidate for me to make some modifications.

I could ride there and back for less money!
