National Cycle Deflector Windshield

[rboe]

Another data point, I bought Hiker Too's windscreen and played with different angles of attack. Mostly as I noodled out how best to mount the mounts!

What seemed reasonable at first, a mild set back, produced a bunch of unwanted turbulence. More tweeking until it was almost against the gauges with quite a bit rear ward rake. This is working pretty good now.

Not touching the gauges, shield does not vibrate (that I can tell, when you are hanging on for dear life it's hard to judge these things ). At typical freeways speeds, no shakes, vibrations or jiggles. I've tried to leave some gap at the headlight to allow some air in behind the shield. This keeps the low pressure zone from building and causing turbulence which causes excessive noise and head buffeting.

It looks good, gives decent protection, on some winter days I wish for more; especially for the hands and at times looks factory.

If I could cheaply build a Don Vesco Rabid Transit type fairing that weight twenty pounds tops I'd do that instead.
