New Windscreen

[Ben70_imp]

I had the opportunity to "commute" to the coast five times over the course of the summer, about 250 miles one way, and thought it would be nice to have some wind protection.
I agree with all who say the bike is lovely on country roads between 45 and 60 mph, naked. I do have to keep up with freeway traffic at times and enjoy longer rides, so after perusing the various options and opinions thought I would give the Plexistar 2 a try.
I copied Dude's lead from the "Windshield Hell" thread and Plasti-dipped the inside, actually used the Rustoleum Peel Coat, which offers a better color selection at Home Depot.
I chose silver with a dark gray over coat, which gives a pleasant non glare finish inside the shield and a nice look from the outside, close to matching the side cover.
Took it for a spin to Black Butte and it performed well, more wind noise but no real buffeting. Solid and stable to 85 mph, had a 15 to 20 mph headwind and crosswind at times, no problem. I look forward to getting to the coast again before it gets too wet, and feel like it will be a good fit for winter around here.
