Wind? What wind?

[Jharpo]

I love my cal-sci windshield too. I have a RS so it doesn't adjust but I wouldn't move it anyway. I'm 5'9" And with my 4" risers and Corbin seat, I sit up straight too. Before the cal-sci I too dreaded the afternoon winds. The gusts not only tried to knock me off the bike but would lurch the bike forward in the middle of a curve. Scary is an understatement. With the cal-sci and that funky hole, the buffeting is gone. Now I can enjoy my Ryde to work in the calm morning and going home in the gusting wind. The windshield is perfectly clear and easy to clean. I bought the medium and my sight line is just over the top of the shield. I highly recommend this product.

Yup- seems I also got gusts during any curve. I would be bracing one way and the gust would seem to appear from a different direction. If the weather holds from rain tomorrow, the Hubs and I are going to test it in a wind farm area.

Do you look over or through the windshield with a medium? I am 5'11" and was trying to decide on the large or xl. I have the BRP 25" touring and the side deflectors but get a terrible exhaust smell because of backdraft. I was told this shield would solve that problem. Do you have the side deflectors?

I recently installed my large Cal-Sci windshield, and am very pleased with it. Right after installation I took a 600 mile trip and it seemed to perform as advertised; far less buffeting, and far less noise.

i am 5' 8" or so and get a bifocal view with the windshield in the down position of my 2012 RT. I think now that I should have gotten the medium, but regret are only minor.

i did notice some glare with the late afternoon sun, but sunglasses completed eliminated that. No such glare from headlights, etc at night.

many bugs during trip, but plain water and soft rag removed them and brought shield back to being clean and perfectly clear again.

Glad to hear that the Cal-Sci windshield is working as advertised for you.

Do you feel that the extra width made for a warmer ride?

I personally can't tell yet. It was 70 yesterday which is sunbathing weather for some of us Yankees I was more impressed by the size of the vent hole in the shield. I kept putting my hand behind it to see if the wind was whistling thru and felt very little. I sent an Email to Mark this morning telling him how much I liked his product.

70 is our night time low temp! I had a CalSci on a RS/GS and I know they have good products but I'm worried that the extra width might not be a good thing here in Las Vegas. With you being 6' tall and with the medium shield if you raise it to the highest are you still looking over it? I'm 5'10" and I ride with the shield at the lowest point on my 2010 RT.

[Adirondack Mik]

With the shield all way up I don't feel I'm bifocaled, you might be. If you are interested in a shorter shield I would call Mark. Although, they only show the shorty tinted he could probably cut one down for you. In Vegas you might want the tinted shorty.

Her,s their site- It tells you how much lower and wider the different sizes are compared to 2010-2012 RT,s!
I had one put on my 09GS as a" throw in" for the purchase and Never felt any problems with passing or being behind Semi,s !
Theres a Good amount of air coming thru the hole BUT you never feel it directly on the body- Although it has to make it more comfortable in the Summer!

I look just over the top and I have no deflectors on my bike now. So far, haven't needed any.
