New Windshield--to Vent or not to Vent

[Spewey Griffin]

not a fan of the look.

also not a fan of that sticker that baggershield puts dead center of their products

I'm with you on stickers and labels generally. Some look neat, but others are just blatant self promotion on a product that we pay full retail on.

I've got a retro leather jacket which I love apart from the H-D branded into it.

I've also found a new jacket which I'd like except for the Brand writ large right across the shoulders...."Dri Rider"....not a great look for a Goldwing rider. Makes it sound like I'm wearing some sort of absorbent pad.

"Since I've been wearing my Dri Rider, I can ride Motor Cycles all day long".....brrrrr....no thanks!

Ordered a vented F4 Windscreen today. Thank you for all the input!

I have an F4, with vent. I think you'll like it.

I like the functionality of the vent, but it makes it more difficult to clean the windshield especially the backside between it and the dash. And sliced bugs on the louvers. This is not enough to decide against it, but it is one of the few 'cons'.

As I continue my windshield shopping, the vent/no-vent decision is top of mind.

I am curious about the pros and cons of having a windshield vent.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

When I bought mine I made them throw it in the deal, was free !!!!!!!!

Vent was a must during the summer, now that the cold is here I just close it. Yes, cleaning the backside can't be done. I actually put the stock shorty back on for the really warm days.

I got the Honda tall windshield with the bike. It was way too short so I am going with the 23 inch F4.

I will post pictures post install.
