Yet another windshield thread
« on: May 23, 2015, 01:21:13 PM »
Stock 15 CVORGU, stock seat also. I'm 6'2" and wear a full face helmet when in my home state and ditch it if in a state where I don't have to wear one.

I am happy with the stock shield performance. Air flow hits top of helmet above my eyes and really doesn't bother me. I think I'd like something dark tinted and with a curve for styling that also pushes that air flow a little higher.

I've looked at many on line and they all seem to measure them differently so it's tough to compare apples to apples.

I like the looks of the Klockwerks better than the others.

I also don't want to sacrifice function for style. It must work first and then look good to me.

Suggestions?

Check out Freedom Shields in CO. Excellent quality, slightly recurve and they now have three different tints. I'm installing the medium tint 14" today and will have pictures of it later.

That doesn't look too bad at all. How does it perform?

Couple hours of saddle time today.  Excellent performance and quality.  Pushes air slightly higher than stock.

Recently tried a Freedom 15" LG which provided good performance ........then swapped it for a 16" which I'm more pleased with. The stock shield was OK for me, but my BSR wife was not happy with the buffeting .....particularly on the sides of her half-helmet ....i.e. her ears. Both the Freedom 15" and 16" shields made her happy. For reference, I'm 6' with a 32" inseam. She's 5"-11" tall. Here's a pic:

Freedom shield price is pretty darn good, but I like the looks of the klockwerks.

Does the klockwerks perform any better to justify the big price difference or are you just paying for the name?
