To Windshield or not to Windshield
#5
I've had all manor of screens and fairings and whilst the work well at certain speeds, they can cause as much trouble as they solve. The choppy air they create can end up being just too much. I took the screen off my bike and was so relived to have a smooth, constant flow of air. I just ride a bit slower on the motorway than my faired bike, and it's a much nicer experience.
I miss a full fairing in the rain tho. I have a trip to France coming up and would love to take the CB but I know if it pours down I'll be missing the full fairing on the Versys.
On another point, a naked bike is so much more manageable with any sort of crosswind.
I've been looking at the old Cb900 and 1100 Bol d'Or fairings of late and wondering how well they work.
