I asked about this when I bought mine as well, having come out of a Formula with a full windshield. I never found any for the Cafe. I called Phil at Lip-Ship and he said he has never done one either.

I have since gotten used to the breeze.

I hate the stock windshield on my cafe - those flip up ones seem to put all the wind RIGHT in my face!!! They work great for my wife because it blows the wind right over her head!!

Sort of along the same lines I have three of them on my 36' Apache and wondered about having new ones made that are just a couple inches taller. As someone else said, they work great for my wife but seem to toss all of the air right in my face.

That was from an old thread, before I decided to buy the Tiger I was looking into some more power. I will be taking the power out of the Tiger next winter for a little freshening. Those motors are the Keith Eickert 675's. They are 540's with 871 blowers and a set of Dart aluminum heads.
