Buffeting

[crossbowme]

I put on a Honda tall before I picked up new. Then went to two variations of the Clearview windshields and now, finally, have a Baggershield extra wide and tall and it works well. Don't like the looks of the Marstad and wonder how well it works in heavy rain.

I initially hesitated with the MStad myself back in '15. Their website pics do no justice, they look terrible compared to how the bike really looks with an MS installed...either that, or I have just gotten used to it.

I grit my teeth and ordered a 13" screen (I'm 6'1") and have no regrets. This is easily the quietest ride I have ever had on a motorcycle, often equivalent to driving a car with the sunroof open or both driver's side windows down.

The genius behind the MStad is that basically takes the concept of "lowers" and applies them to a windshield, smoothing out the windflow coming towards the rider, even with the screen far below eye level. This elminates 90% of buffeting and significantly reduces noise.

My helmet visor gets wet, because I keep the MStad angled towards me so I clearly see over it. Other than that, only my lap gets wet from rainwater dripping down from helmet. Tilted straight up, only the top of my helmet gets wet.

I am not sure how this compares to other windscreens, but on my VStars with big 21" Memphis Shades screens, I would significantly wetter...however, that may have to do with lack of coverage on the bike itself more than the windshield.
