Anyone have this windscreen installed?

How does it compare to the OEM version?

I have the exact same one on my 85. I have no complaints about it. very easy to install. If your a taller rider there have been comments about the wind hitting you in the chest. As far as comparing it two the OEM I could not give an opinion as I have never had one.

In my humble opinion neither one will protect you from the wind, their just for looks. They have no purpose other then keeping the bugs off your speedo & aluminum hardware.:biglaugh:

Yes I have pictures but they are at home and I am at work tonight. I will try to post some for you as soon as I get back from a job interview today. Hopefully I can get this job. A lot more money and more directly related to my field of expertise. :biglaugh:

Rusty is right, mostly for looks. It does keep the wind blast off my chest and up to about mid shield dependent upon the angle it is set at.

I've got a similar one on mine, it does help keep the wind off of your chest and if your a bigger guy like me then it does actually help quite a bit.

I have had the OEM version and the Givi A123 which is what I use now. A little bigger than the OEM and less expensive. I use the OEM Mini-shield for trips and this around town.

Here is a couple of pictures of my max with the mini windshield.

I like mine, I think it breaks the wind nicely...

 

[aikidoka]

so is isn't much bigger than OEM? I like the aesthetics of the OEM and don't want to get too far away from that

 

[2fear]

Yes, it is bigger then the OEM windscreen. At least half again the size of the OEM, but it still looks nice on the bike without being to " gumpy "

Your windscreen farts at you?

I hope it didn't eat eggs and cabbage!

 

[fmcandrew]

Mine is slightly different...but I like it as it provides some protection at higher speeds...

FMC, what does this style run for, and does it have different colors. Don't know if I'd like smoked look or clear.

Say, what is that bar you have clamped on the handlebar behind the windshield?

That's probably part of his dirt bike handlebar set up in case he takes a curve too fast and hits the cornstalks.

If your wanting to keep the factory looks but get more wind protection check out this website. http://www.bikescreen.com/search.asp I noticed they sell the factory windscreen and then have some that are +2 and +5 inches over stock. They sell just the plastic so you will need to have the mounting hardware...just a thought. Personally I have the factory style and height for looks and just to keep the rain off my shift light is why I got mine.
