how is everyboby, bought a 16 in windshield (18 above light by the time its fitted), its just below eye level when riding which is good, stops the body preasure but seems to direct wind right into me face. its up as high as it can go, and ive had it as low as it can go, but no diff. anybody got any ideas apart from throwin it away

Does it have a curve (forward) in it? Might be able to hit it with a heat gun over a bit of pipe to put a "recurve" in it. If ya guna throw it ou ya got nothin to lose.

 

G`day fella`s , personally despite copping a few bee stings and rocks , i`d still rather the wind in my face !
My only experience with HD screens are that i only ever really used one properly once , for a 2 week long road trip to tassie & GOR from Sydney and it was good , actually it was better than good as it pissed down for almost half of the trip and i would use it for that purpose again for sure , but never for local day rides , though before the trip i put it on and took it for a test run up the hwy and was pretty disapointed , i noticed there was a shitload of turbulance behind the screen to the point where it was blowing my beard and road dust up my nose and in my eyes , i felt that the air was blasting up over the tank in that gap between it and the screen , sort of gave a bit of a helmet lifting head wobble effect the faster you went also !
I ended up buying for $100 the HD chrome aerofoils that run for about 15 inchs along either side of the FL fork legs , despite giving the frontend a bit of a blinged up alien blender look , it actually worked well as in it stopped about 90% of that weird and potentially dangerous backdraft problem and made it worth using on the trip otherwise i reckon i would have left it off .

Check out the Flare Screens , not sure how good they are but they`re wind tunnel tested and are said to work well , they look kooler than the HD OEM screens too .

 have used a windvest for about 18 months, and found it good. It has the lip at the top which deflcts the wind over the top of my hemet, but I do not have to look through the perspex. Bough it via M and M in the US for $400. LAst big ride was 4,500 kms over 7 days, and very happy it was on as had a bit of wet weather on the ride.

Try bending the top out as mentioned
