Premium Member peporter Posted February 1, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 1, 2016 I don't like windshields much. Every one I have had has resulted in lots of noise and buffeting. I ordered a Madstad last Friday. The more I looked at it and thought about it, the uglier the thing looked, and I finally cancelled the order today. If you thought it was ugly, why did you consider it in the first place? On the bike it is beautiful, offers unparalleled adjustability and resolves your concerns about noise and buffeting. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member michael Posted February 1, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 1, 2016 Got the shorty CalSci windshield, and I love it. Rode it 80 miles home from CalSci and found I have clean laminar airflow hitting my chest, greatly reduced noise in my helmet and no buffeting. I am absolutely delighted with it. It looks good too.

Being a naked bike rider for all these years I don't mind good old clean wind, it's the buffeting and noise that I disliked with the OEM windscreen. Thanks, I'll look forward to testing mine!

Premium Member michael Posted February 2, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 2, 2016 Yep, I agree. My dualsports with only a small number plate that holds the headlight don't give me any buffeting at all, and not much noise. I had a V-Strom 650, the OEM shield was terrible. Replaced it with an expensive Givi Airflow screen, that was just as bad. The stock one on this bike was terrible, I started getting noise and buffeting at 15MPH. This CalSci shorty gives me clean air... and I had it up to about 90MPH yesterday, same thing, clean air, just more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysor Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I installed a 26" Parrabellum Windshild and I am pleased with the result. I have a front end noise that may or may not have been there with the OEM screen. This noise disappears above 60 mph but, is very annoying below that speed. Not sure if it is the windshield , fairing, front end or what. Anyone else experience this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
