Deflector from MadStad

Just returned from a trip to Magog, Quebec: nice protection on the hands, elbows and shoulders for wind and water. IMHO, a keeper. :2thumbs:

My TWO CENTS.
I asked for the metal.
These are proto test and Doc and I got a set for test.
Yes, they can be made to see thru, ( plastic ) however, I think te plastic would have too much vibration with a single mount screw.
I rode in rain with no gloves at 70+ and no rain sting on hands.
As to drag.. Did not notice any loss of gas mileage.
Keeper for me???? You bet.

How do you know they cause too much drag? I've only produced two sets so far, and I didn't send either one to you.

Didn't mean to offend you. I apologize if that's how it came off. I do see great benefit for those that will be in exreme comditions. But they look draggy to me. Scotty makes good points, but looking at them they will produce drag. Again, it depends on what shield you are using and other factors. Do I have a wind tunnel to prove the drag theory? No. This is my opinion. Like anything else, some will like it and some will not.

Okay-- but why? Is there really that much wind that people want to block it all? Isn't the idea to have some open air experience?

Sorry -- but I just don't get the need to block all the air-- like the silly BRP wind deflectors.

:agree:

Why do we like blocking the wind?? It's called Western NY..... Without it we are relegated to riding in the circle below and most of us like to ride more than 3 months a year.... Some people put their spyders away some like to ride 12 months. Thats why we need em...

Will be looking for heated grips soon. When the temp drops, its not just the wind that is the problem.
