Windshields for the F6B ?

[1951vbs]

I am curious, is there anyone happy with the stock windscreen?

I like the stock windscreen but wanted a shorty with dark tint so I cut down one of my Cee Baileys to 1/2" less than stock.
Gives the look I'm after and works for me. I do wear a full face helmet and earplugs when I don't have my earbuds in. But I commute everyday, rain, shine, cold(8°F) or hot(105°F) and wouldn't change.

If you came off a bike that had no windshield, then it's the same. If you came from a bike with a windshield, then this one is useless. Simple as that.

Not true for me. I have had many bikes with windshields and some have worked great others not so good. The ones with a power feature were the best as you could tailor for your height and conditions: ST1300, K1200GT and Victory Vision. But the 3 Electra Glides I had were terrible. Sport and sport-sport touring bikes are my favorite as they break the wind blast but don't offer a still bubble like driving a convertible car. I put the F6B stock screen in that "Sport-Touring" category. The big fairing and short screen breaks the wind pretty well and even though you do get wind noise....there is no buffeting as I define it. Buffeting to me is a movement side to side or front and back due to turbulence. I get none of that from the F6B at any speed, cross-wind or even next to a semi. I would say try it first, a few of us like it. The picture below is of another bike I had that worked great with a cut down screen!

I liked the stock shield while wearing a full face helmet, but then I couldn't hear the radio. I enjoy listening to music while riding so the stock shield had to go.

Anyone tried the Klock Werks Flare?

What did you think of it?

Thanks for the info very interesting reading, still no wiser though. Then I guess if I was wise I wouldn't be a biker.

Anyone with some long term opinions?

Anyone with some long term opinions?

I'm unaware of anyone having any experience with the K-works other than those listed in the thread/link posted above.

You can give one of 'em a PM and see what their current opinion is.

I went with looks over function. Coming from a cruiser without a shield I'm use to riding with the wind in my face. This is a Cee Baileys 9 inch shield.

Looks great. Did you notice any difference from stock as far as wind noise, being able to hear your stereo etc? I just want to hear my tunes, I don't mind wind otherwise.

The Bailey's 9" shield is about the same as stock, not much for blocking the wind. I suggest checking on your radio setting for the AVC control. It's in your owners manual. I can hear my radio at high speeds without any problems using the AVC setting.

Hope this helps,

I have the Klock Werks Flare on my Ultra……it does throw the wind off you…I bought it because they said it would add 15-20% more down force…my Ultra starts to float around 110 mph….not sure I ever tested it……. bottom line…” its OK"
