    This was my problem. At about 14k with the shorty I had just made a trip from Denver to Huntsville via Memphis.I liked the shorty had said I wouldn't change it but the bugs just covered my full face. I had been wiping them off with my wiper glove but mostly they just smeared.
    I went with a Klockwerks recurve. Short enough that I dont look through it but it puts the bugs on the top of my helmet-not in my face and view.Still enough wind ,stereo is clearer at speed and since the cool season is approaching should be a little warmer on the frosty days.

    Not hearing much about the Honda tall screen, I live in a bug heavy area and enjoy keeping them off my face or face shield.
    I'm looking at a Honda tall screen for $145 shipped. Bad idea?
    edit: changed my search criteria, already been addressed. So. Much. To. Read!

    OEM to paint

    Thanks, Old Ryder. Sent you my PayPal address to make this deal happen. I am also an MRA fan--there is a dark shorty on my K1300S! Looking forward to painting your OEM shield the first rainy day we get with the monsoons they are predicting up here.

    I still like the stock shield, and have not replaced it.
    But then again, I've also never had any windshield on any of the other bikes I've had in the 40 years I've been riding. Never liked the look of them.
    I've used only full-face helmets since I bought my V65 Magna back in 1983.
    I've also been using earplugs for quite a few years now, as I find riding to feel much more relaxing with them.
    Despite this, I find the stereo to be audible through the speakers up to over 70 mph, as long as I have the automatic volume control on.
    Maybe I'll try a regular windshield someday, but I remain in no hurry to do so.

    Sent you a PM. Seems the wife threw out the shield while cleaning out the barn. (I guess she did not care for the stock shield either ) What a lousy way to spend a rainy Monday digging thru 2 barns looking for something that isn't there. Sorry, Bro! If you can't find one here, eBay has them from time to time for cheap.

    I been playing around with some paint and the acrylic base of the Madstad. Now I wish I had my OEM to experiment with. Dang it!

    I'm with you. I got my B just 2 days back and love everything about it! Including the tiny little windshield.

    vinyl and Windscreen

This combination of fresh air, cool looks and an open horizon view led me to consider the OEM again so I wrapped it in black shiny vinyl and now I love it again! Anyone want to sell me their OEM in perfect condition so that can paint it? $100 shipped to California!
