Buffeting

Happy Easter everyone, what is the best windshield to stop the wind from blowing my head around at higher speeds. Thanks in advance for all your help. Ronbo 2013 FB6 GOT THE 13 INCH MEDIUM GRAY MASTAD

I think most people will say the Mastad is the best for wind protection. Some do not like the looks and they are one of the most expensive but well worth it to me. Had a Klock Works which was not very effective. If you look at some of the newer bikes the two piece shield is gaining in popularly and I think it is because it is effective. Also look at "for sale" windshields, often many brands are offered for sale as people look for the perfect shield but seldom is a Mastad because Mastad ends that search.

+1 Yep the best in performance, not so much in looks

+2... love the way it works. Love the look. I think the industrial (?) look w it’s exposed hardware kind of enhances the bad assedness of the F6B. YMMV.

Ride safe!

Everyone that has a Mastad (sp) seems to love it, but I really don’t like the looks. I recently put a Clearview SportTour, Medium Height, Dark, Recurve, with vent on my bike and I love it. I have it at the highest position and the air flows just over the top of my helmet. I do have Baker Mirror Wings also. I’m about 6’ and am riding on the stock seat.

And it looks GREAT and the quality is a 10. No good pictures yet but I will post a few when I get a chance to take them.

My real evaluation will be in early May, a 7-day trip to eastern Arizona and western New Mexico, probably just over 2k miles that week. I did get in a 240 mile ride the other day and I really liked how it performed.

I used to look 'thru' windshields ... my Valkyrie, etc. ... then after deciding to wear a helmet on a regular basis, I decided I didn't need to be looking thru an additional sheet of plastic.
SO, when I replace my Valk windshield, I went with a Clearview. But, short enough that I could look OVER it. I worked great. The wind was deflected over my helmet and I didn't have to be as concerned with a bug covered windshield to look thru.

When I bought my '15 F6B, I immediately went to Clearview. They had a 're-curve', lightly tinted, at a height I could look over the top that works perfect. NO BUFFETING!
I've put over 10,000 miles on it since the purchase and would not consider anything else.

Just my opinion.

Forgot to include that mine has the "recurve" also. I also look over the windshield, not through it.

------- is by far the best shield out there.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I put off getting a ------- for 3 years because of looks.Now that I have it and have about 2000 miles behind it I find it very beautiful because it out performs any windshield I have ever ridden behind.

I did not like it at first before putting it on my bike. Now I like it think it looks futuristic and matches the bike perfectly. It can be much shorter than you are so easy to look over it. The wind is deflected much higher than the shield itself.
