Hi Tom,
I don't have a Windjammer but when I replaced the windshield on my Wixom
Ranger, I mounted in front of it's original position with a 1/4" gap at
the bottom. This along with the 8" tall .090" aluminum flat stock that I
mounted in the windshield's original place directs enough air behind the
windshield in an upword direction to keep the turbulance away from you.
I used wooden blocks as spacers between the 'shield and plate figuring I
could experament with different size blocks if I didn't like the
results. Turned out to work so well as first concieved that I didn't
mess with it. I know this is hard to visualize so if anyone is
interested I'll take a picture and post it.
 
 
Any thoughts as to whether a vented or non-vented replacement windshield
for a Vetter Windjammer is the better way to go? I find that with the
non-vented windshield on my Ambo there is a big dead spot behind it,
which causes wierd things to happen when riding in the rain. Anybody
tried a vented shield and seen any difference?

OK, I'll be the first to admit that the Vetter is not a loop (thank
God). Loop content: The G-5 that the Vetter is on is parked next to the
Loop.
