After talking to a bunch of people and seeing the windshield, decided on ordering a Cal Sci. I am definitely interested in the "wide" version, but have seen differing opinions on whether or not it interferes with full lock-to-lock steering--a couple members have said it is a problem, a couple have said it isn't.
I have and AST handlebar riser (2" up and 2" back), so am thinking it might not be an issue anyway.
I'm 6'1, 33 inch inseam, thinking either the regular or the wide in XL? (I ride year long, and would rather have more protection for cold riding than less for warm weather--I can always put it in the lowest position or use the stock screen).
Any opinions would be very much appreciated
I have a CalSci that I use for Winter. If you want to have some fun with a CalSci IYes, on my bike, the average mileage went down by 1.5mpg with the shield raised. Of course, with the shield all the way down, it's still more shield than the stock one full up. Anyone with a V Stream have any mileage figures?
suggest you set your display to "Current MPG" and raise the windshield up and down
and watch what happens.
I just installed a Cal Sci XL Tall on my 2008. I had 2" risers on, then removed them. No interference in either case. It is a big screen. I'm over 6' tall, I can get out of the air flow at less than full up. I like to run it at full down when it's hot out, good airflow. At full down, it is more shield than the stocker at full up.
For the 08/09 models, when you operate any screen in full down, you cut off cooling air flowing under the bottom left and right of the screen over the black fairing covers down towards your shins. It's counter intuitive to do this but it's a fact that I've tested many times on my bike. You need to leave at least an inch or two from the bottom of the screen for airflow. I don't know about the 10+ bikes as they're designed a bit slower.

I don't know about your weather there, but you would BAKE here with that. I had to cut 5" off the stock 2nd gen windshield to be comfortable in summer. I can't imagine running the stock shield in anything less than full down in summer. Ouch.
