Windshield Extender

Should help mitigate some helmet wind noise. Ready for some good riding weather this weekend!

Interesting, I will wait for a ride report

I have one that I added to my M109 and also to my Vmax. Amazing how just that little bit of lift can do wonders for keeping the wind off you chest or moving it above the helmet. Best $15 item that I ever bought for the bike.

This is timely - i was going to ask the forum whether the windscreen is worth the cost...is there a noticeable difference/improvement?

 

[superbee24]

Nice. What brand? Where did you buy it?
Thanks!

IMO the OEM windshield is worth the cost. Functions well and looks good. :thumbup: cueman

:agree:

Sorry for the delay in response. Hozan is the brand I picked up on Amazon. I haven't had a chance to get up to highway speed so can't say for sure, but seems like it helps just driving around town.

I added one to my list but it was $28rather than $15. Word must have gotten out

 

[CTAC]

I guess so! I got my for 24 bucks last week.

Amazon is "fluid" with their pricing. I will try again later and see if it has changed.

Ordered mine on Amazon yesterday. $32CAD, shipping from China included. Could take 6 weeks to get to Montreal.

That is for sure. I said $15, but I actually think I paid more like $12. I also picked up a bag for the rear of my Vmax. I paid $16 for that, but a week later, they had them for around $24. BTW, I got mine on Ebay.

Ride report: Put a couple hundred miles on it today... Helped with wind noise but got optically poor with all of the road gunk (salty water spray)... lowered it to see over the top which defeated its purpose. I am sure it will work well when things are dry and clean.

Did you lower the extender or the stock screen or both? How was wind noise affected at the lower position.

 

[CTAC]

I lowered the extender from the high to the low position... It did increase the wind noise. Changing the angle of extender might be something to experiment with as well.

I am using the stock mirrors for the blind spots

I was really concerned about the bar-end mirrors and how they might work. I mean, they look great but couldn't really work well. I was WRONG. For me anyway the mirrors are some of the best I have ever had.
