Even the gold tinge on the headers doesn't look too bad along with the blue tank. It's getting near the time for another Opti-Glanz treatment so that I can see how the headers look like in silver again.
Gumby, talk to me about your windshield...
My windshield is a National Cycle Street Shield EX with a Clamp-On MRA X-creen Tour.
It may look tall, but so am I, so I still look over it. The top may be as high as my chin.
The Street Shield wasn't tall enough to keep the bugs off my face shield and was rather noisy...no real buffeting though as some have experienced.
With the MRA X-creen it is much quieter and it directs the bugs over my helmet (well, most of them). I got the clamp-on brackets in case I didn't like it and wanted to remove it, but I think that it is staying put! The X-creen is pretty much in the lowest position. I tried setting it higher and at various angles, but the position as shown in my photo works best for me. I can drive at speeds up to 50mph/80kph with my helmet visor fully open, without buffeting.
