Windshield Hell

[kvdv_imp]

Count me among those who have given up on windshields, at least the add-on type. The only windshield I ever got along with was the built-in electrically adjustable screen on an '07 Yamaha FJR. They nailed it. Prior to that, I had a Vulcan 900 onto which I installed a National Cycles windscreen...it was torture over 60mph. I researched, bought an add-on "Laminar Lip." Not only did that setup look horrendous, but it did little for the buffeting problem. Years later, I did a 9-week 10,000 mile tour across the US and back on an '07 Bonnie T100 with nothing but an OEM flyscreen on the front. Absolute heaven. No buffeting, clean air to the helmet, no pressure at the chest even at 80mph. These experiences and the flat out ugliness of most (all?) after market windshields for naked bikes led me to choose the Road Comet II for my '14 DLX...absolutely perfect in function and appearance. Everyone's experience is different of course, but I've found flyscreens or cowlings like the Road Coment are perfect for me...mind you, that's with a full-face helmet only.
