Kuryakyn Air Master Windshield
« on: April 04, 2009, 12:44:33 PM »

Has anyone tried the Kuryakyn Air Master Windshield?  It is 21" from 6 to 12 O'Clock and rises 14".  This would even set it a little further back and closer to the rider's face than the Clearview.  I believe that is why the CV outperforms all others...they just don't look as cool as the "stepped" shields by CB and KW. 

I've got a CB 14" but when they (Joe) redesigned it, they stood it up further than the previous version.  If you do that, you've got to have more height and recurve to get the wind up and over the rider. 

If the Kury puts the shield close to the riders chin, it could be the best of both worlds i.e. perform like a Clearview & look like a KlockWorks...Hmmmmm....

Very good catch on the Kury Shield 61BT.........As Kuryakyn has a big presence at the Laughlin River Run in about two weeks, I will be checking this out.  Looks promising.  Read everything on the CB shield (jury still out), and the Windvest while nice, might be too short at 12 inches.  I too have the CV shield, and I like it, just do not love it.  The recurve does not seem as defined as others.  Will post if I like what I see with the Kury shield.

Very interesting sheild.  I would love to see what people with it think about it.

I have the Cee Baily 14.  I like the shield especially under 55 mph.  However it is almost un usable above 70 for me, as wind hits the glasses directly and above 80 it tries to lift my beene helmet.

DD,
Kury might put one on your bike and let you test is, They've done stuff like that before with me at shows
Give us a report on the River run, haven't been in a couple years. but was during the good times and the yr after the incident. Changed.
Hey, are you in SNHOG? do you know Kevin P and Dale S. I rode with those guys before. Friend of mine was the Director of that chapter Johnny, he's back in Chicago now.

Larry, good call on the possible demo at the River Run.  As I will be going down early (Thursday), so this might be more of a reality before the crowds arrive. If I get the chance, I'll report back........ Since the gunfight in 2002, the police presence has been unbelievable during the run.  Still a good time & I look forward to going.  Have considered joining SNHOG, but not currently a member.

I am 6'1" and the 14 is what they recommended.  Its much too short for me in my opinion.  I am think a 16 is what I need.

Yep, the windshield seems to be the ONE make-or-break thing on the SERG in the looks department.  This Kury seems to be the best looking at least in the pictures.  I'm hoping that it is made of thick enough material to not vibrate up and down, that it is far enough back to give me a clear view of the road and high enough & shaped in a manner to minimize buffeting.    It only comes in this one size and I'm 5' 11".  If its too tall I can cut it down but I'm betting that the amount of layback will keep my sight straight down the shield.

This weekend looks to be a perfect riding venue here in central Georgia so If they ship today or tomorrow, I might get some seat time behind it :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

I've tried them all and this definitely looks bada$$ from both the side and front.
