    Taka S or 7Jurock?

    Thinking of switching shields from the Klockwerks 14 inch due to it being just a bit too low for me. The 16 inch Klockwerks is just a bit too tall. Love the sporty look on the B but need better application to reduce buffeting. The 14 inch is actually around 13 when measured on bike.

    Has anyone tried the Taka S or 7Jurock?

    Any thoughts or recommendations?

    I have the Taka on mine, and it suits me just fine.

    jm,
    Does it measure in a straight line on the angle true to it's description? In other words, is a 14 inch truly 14 inches from the top of the fairing to top of shield?
    What size do you have and do you look over it?

    I think my Klockwerks is a 16". Used it awhile but found buffeting around the back of my head & shoulders. I drilled it & to raise it & that didn't help, then tried one on those "spoilers" deals on the upper part of the recurve, nothing seemed to help. I went back the "wind bender" from fire creek. Fire Creek are great to deal with, great customer support.
    Want to try it? $25 plus the shipping cost & it's yours. There's 4 small holes in the recurve & a extra mounting holes for height change. PM me if you're want it.

    14.25, actually. I look over mine, but there is math involved. The factors are:

    Owner height
    Owner torso length, commonly guesstimated after learning the owner's inseam
    Seat on bike, as some drop from stock height, some go up

    My factors are:

    5' 11"
    Inseam 33"
    Mustang seat, which is about a 1 to 1-1/2" drop from stock

    Are they adjustable in case you want to move it up or down slightly?

    Just ordered one.
