We have been told here in Canada that there is a taller windshield
available from Kawasaki for my 2008 KLR. The Candian Kawasaki people
say it is not available here yet. Does anyone know if the taller
windshield is available in the US. Your help is appreciated.

Tom,
I called the local dealer and Brad at the parts counter checked a couple
of places. He could only find luggage and a tank bag for the 2008
models.
I check
www.buykawasaki.com and found the stock windshield is part number
39154-5028. Then I check
www.ronayers.com and they show it as costing
$85.07. Their where does this fit section says "no bikes." Like you
found out earlier, they don't have a fiche for 2008 yet.
Brad said his friend Harry just bought a 2007 and is getting an extra
tall windshield for it from an aircraft acrylics place. He didn't know
the name or location.
Seems to me you are in virgin territory here and will be paving the way
for others.
Best,

Tom,
My mistake below. It was Don that played with the fiche at
www.ronayers.com . As a side note... I got a note from Don that he used
the parts diagram at
www.buykawasaki.com to check on his drain plug.
Sorry for the mistaken identity.
Best,
Jeff

The "aircraft place" is Cee Baily in the Los Angeles area, they often
are on ebay and offer taller KLR shields. I found this Kawi part #
on Kawi's web site for the +4 windshield: 46001-085. It doesn't
show up if you just go to the accesories list. I had to start as if
I were going to the parts diagrams and then when the model was
selected hit "accessories" for that model and a "windshield" catagory
came up. Hope this helps.
Kurt
