I, personally, think the screens look like crap and I am not sure how anything can hit you in the face if your visor is closed. I ride with mine closed and I do not worry about gravel and stones coming thru a slot and hitting me, where does all this rock come from? Do you folks tailgate constantly? Do you live in areas that don't have pavement? This thread just carries no weight to me. And Klockwerks would sell anything that someone would buy and someone will always buy stuff for  a HD regardless if it works or looks acceptable or not, IE: Seen a Mulstad (spelling?) windshield???

Don, please explain to me this "visor" you're referring to.
When I said rocks, I should have said tiny little pieces of anything hard, Same thing to me. Ever pass a semi on the highway that hasn't been through a truck wash lately? There's always crap blowing off of them.

I have no skin in this game as I don't own a Rushmore bike - fixed fairing or batwing.  I was just reporting the news to make folks aware of some possibilities.

My friend never said the vent created a vacuum he was just using that as an analogy to help envision what happened when debris came flying through the vents.  And no, he was not tailgating.  As explained in the op the truck in the right lane quickly swerved left into his lane to avoid another vehicle.  So I guess you could say he inadvertently tailgated the truck.  The truck driver overdid it and got his wheels onto the shoulder where all sorts of junk was waiting to become airborne.  Most roads seem to collect an inordinate amount of debris on the shoulder.  Plenty of chit to get thrown up.

Gotcha. Some of us don't have those. We settle for a 1/2 or none at all.

I had three bird strikes on my '95 Fat Boy--not exactly an aerodynamic success--so, sooner or later, it'll happen. Nature of the business, so adding screens is a smart idea, even if the MoCo didn't install them.
