Comparison of windscreens

[phoenixrdr]

Replaced my stock windshield with a 13 inch with a small recurve from Long Ride Shield's. made a 100 percent difference in the enjoyment of the bike for me, I realize there are some riders that like the short shield, but i'm not one of those. Only purchase i've made so far, but i do have a nice long list. Enjoy reading others riders post's. Keep er under a 100 in second gear at least....

My 19" bagger shield works really well. I din't want the recurve because of distortion. I prefer to look through the top 2" of the windshield and like it distortion free. It's a thick, sturdy and crystal clear. I get no buffeting at all.

I have the Clearview and its pretty good. I want a klockwerks. Maybe this winter.

Search this site for windshield topics, there's quite a few.
I went through 3 different windshields before I settled on the Madstad System.

What is it about the Madstad that makes it so good? What height screen did you finally settle on (and how tall are you)?

I went with the Klock Werks 14" Dark Smoke Screen basically because it looks cool. I am extremely happy with it. I am able to see over the top of it easily. Wind now gets pushed completely over my head and it also seems to push the front end of the bike down onto the road at high speeds very noticeably. I can also listen to the stereo at high speed and the clean air vacuum space created by the overdraft gives the distinct impression that my back is being pushed ever so slightly forward. And it does look Kewl.

This is my second Flare windshield and I love it! There's only one possible "downside" you may want to consider...if you think there may be a farkle shelf in your future, the Flare is probably not for you. The swept-back curve comes back over the top of the dashboard and is not compatible with the farkle shelf.

I was also looking into the EC GPS dash mount, and no cigar there, either. Not enough room for the GPS to mount on top of the dash with the Flare.

However, from a standpoint of looks and performance, I find it hard to beat my Flare. Did a 9,000 mile ride up into Canada in September, and the Flare protected me from wind, bugs (well mostly) and rain.

All that said, I may be willing to part with mine in order to install a farkle shelf. The one on my F6B is brand new, with less than 100 miles on it. PM me if interested.

The Madstad base is a small mount. I have the 11 inch and it gives a lot of adjustability. The shield itself acts like a "spoiler" to maneuver and control the airflow. I am 6'1" on an Ultimate King Rider seat

I really like the Klock Werks Flare. Pushes the air over my head and around both me and my wife. We noticed a difference right away. I'm 6"1
