Part of my falling in lust with this bike is its looks! The whole package is nicely styled and seems to flow, especially the windshield with its cafe racer look...
NOW I find that I am changing things for various reasons.... mustache engine guard for tip-over protection and highway leg-up riding (highly recommended by all my friends) was the first 'mod' I have done. But the list is growing with rider comfort/convenience being the priority..... (and stuff for our October trip!)
seat pad (do not want to change the seat!)
luggage rack (anyone get the new air-wing two-up luggage rack?? Pix!!?)
cruise/poor-mans cruise
T-bag or comperable
windshield....
Which leads me to the question.... The buffetting I feel at speeds above about 45mph.... Is that induced from the wind flowing up (and around) the relatively short shield then hitting me in the face/helmet? Or from the wind splitting at the fueltank and popping up to my face (the reason I ask this is due to some posts I have read about the wind deflectors on the fork tubes)?
In my own limited, unscientific tests I have been able to virtually eliminate the buffetting just by slightly lowering (looking down) my head while riding which would lead me to believe I should look at a windshield only an inch or two taller. And, what does the width of the shield do for you?
I hate to loose the looks of the current shield and do not mind wind in my face but do not care for the buffetting, and I like to go fast
