    Default Does the Gauge spoiler cut some of the wind?

    Does the Ryker gauge spoiler cut some of the wind or is it more for show?

    Strictly for show, the small windshield does an excellent job though and it cost $199.00

    I disagree with it being strictly for show. It keeps the love bugs from splattering all over the front side of the instrument panel. You can get them off a spoiler pretty easy, but not so easy to clean them off the front side of the gauges.

    I can't say for sure since I don't have my Rally yet but won't the windscreen (stock or CaliSCi) also keep the bugs off the front sice of the gauges?

    Wind protection on the chest area mostly..if your 6ft tall you are not going to get much head protection. It is an overpriced bare minimum shield, it works but going over 75 you will need to put your head down slightly under the shield with your eyes over it.

    Yes, almost any windshield will keep the bugs from splattering on the gauges.

    The OEM windshield does a pretty good job of keeping the wind off of your chest and reduces what you get on the helmet. For the size, I think it is pretty impressive and well worth the install. Worth the price? Well, that always depends on the buyer.

    I have mine set on the lowest height. I have not yet played with it at a higher setting.

    Most people up to 6 feet tall have the same length torso ( hip to shoulder ) so screen height will be close to the same for 5'5" to 6'-6'2" approx .
    Leg length is generally the BIG variable up to that height 🥴
