    windshield venting

    I know it's another windshield question but I am curious. I have pretty much decided on the Cee-Baileys windscreen. I'm thinking 13". I was wondering if getting the vent is worth it or not. I live in Dallas and it does get pretty hot here. I was wanting the opaque and don't want to kill the look with the vent, but if it's worth it, I might. What do you guys think of a vent?

    You'd be nuts not to get a vent in DFW. Or really, anywhere.

    Venting on Vents

    Baggershield here, no vent. California can cook with weeks over 90 and several over 95 degrees. I even ride when it is 105+ out and use my wet vest. Switching to the F6B from a stewpot-Harley-hot-box, the F6B has been awesome withOUT the V-twin searing my nether regions.

    The lack of air movement around my upper torso was a switch for me, too, so I ordered and have used the Baker hand wings. On rides with weather approaching 90 degrees, they work very well for their purpose of deflecting wind into that space. Useless at a red light, however.

    For that reason, I'm considering installing an itty bitty fan on my dash.... Bwa ha ha!!!
