I recently purchased a VStream Touring Wind Deflector and like the improvements over the stock shield.  

Has anyone purchased or seen the equivalents of Baker Air Wings or other such wind deflectors to block wind creeping from the bottom of the shield to the upper body.  I do not have issues with buffeting near my head.

Perhaps I should have purchased a Madstad, as I believe it has small "winglets" at the bottom of the shield near the fairing.

Thank to everybody and anybody in advance.

Hello Steve....as the saying goes:  you won't miss what you don't have.  I have a 2019 Tracer GT purchased used with 4400 miles in October 2020.  I have ridden it 3900 miles in three months---the bike is addicting!  I will look at a 2021 in a few years.

I would not pay $2000.00 more for a 2020 over a 2019 as they are identical other than color.

You are a good weight for the bike...I am 6'4" 225 lbs and the suspension is OK with me with the preload set up for higher weight.  I did install 1" lower foot pegs and add an EBay adjustable windshield spoiler to the tall Puig windshield that the bike came with.  The seat is a compromise....not good, not bad. 

I will say that this is my 50th riding year and this bike is one of the most fun bikes ever owned.

 

I am purchasing a 900 GT within the week.  I would be interested to know what hardware and pegs you purchased to lower them.  I am 5'10" and when I sat on the bike with center stand up, it was clear to me.

"Effin Hoofrats!"  Someone had to say it.  😉

How ironic.  I am replacing a Triumph Trophy SE from a deer I hit last August with the 900 GT.

Thanks John, I know the area by Baldwin you visit a little bit. We used to keep a seasonal trailer at twin oaks campground in wellston so we'd get down towards Baldwin snowmobiling. We keep it in wolverine now. Thanks for the number. Mine is 810-662-5679. mattstaci1995@gmail.com 

Take care , Matt

Appreciate the reply.  I will keep you in mind. thx

Hello.  My name is John Garbarino.  I just joined the forum a few minutes ago and plan on purchasing my 900GT today or tomorrow.  I am transitioning from a Triumph Trophy SE.  Essentially a sport touring bike like you.  

I am located in Grand Rapids, Mi.  I too like to ride up North, specifically in the Copper Harbor area and Ontonagon (Lake of the Clouds).  I ride there every 3 years.  Otherwise I take off from cottage in Baldwin on Big Star Lake.  

You can reach me at 269-720-4020, jgarbarino@parker.com.  

Thx
