Tall Windshield

[Nortoon_imp]

Nortoon, you could contact parabellum to see if they have plans to design a shield for the '17 EX. It still may not fit if you move the turn signals so I would remove the turn signals just to see if the shield can be mounted properly. There's very little room for adjustments.

I have a parabellum shield but it is gathering dust. I found there was just too much wind turbulence at high speeds (70 mph) so I went with the dart flyscreen. I may take it out on a rainy day and cut it down far enough so my helmet is in clean air. After that, it should offer more protection than the dart. I also have a plexistar 3 that's gathering dust. Too much turbulence there too at higher speeds.

I can deal with wind noise (foam ear plugs) but turbulence that causes my helmet to "bobble" is not acceptable.

I found a lot of inexpensive turn signal brackets available on Amazon, so I ordered a set of chrome ones. However removing the signal lights to see if the shield would fit properly is something I will try on a rainy day. There have been lots of those these last two months. I am expecting there will be other adjustments to make so the shield will fit and perform properly.

Odd you would use the word "bobble" because my Bell MAG-9 helmet makes people look like bobble head dolls because is made so wide to hold the sun visor, face shield, speakers, and helmet peak.



I had a California Scientific windscreen on my CB500XA, and never experienced any helmet bobbling. But I have on my CB1100, so I am going to give this screen a good try. This year has also been terrible for bugs and rain.

In fairness my MAG-9 was never a tight fit (like my Shoei) and is now 4 years old. On my last ride I was able to eliminate the bobbling by removing the helmet peak which is redundant because of the sun visor anyway. It was also a great bug trap. Found two dragon fly corpses when I removed it.

I paid the extra $10 to have the screen tinted. I am hoping it will remove the glare from the sun that makes the digital dash impossible to read.

I also ordered the tallest screen hoping it will push the wind blast over my head and eliminate the wind noise. It would be nice to ride in a quiet zone, something I haven't experienced since I sold my Goldwing 28 years ago.
