Question,  on these larger screens are you looking thru them or over them or is it an angle change that stops the buffering. Did a longer ride this weekend and it drove me nuts. Thanks

I like looking over my CB Ultra Tour. For me that is the beauty of having the electric shield. Most of the time I have it so that I look over but at just the right height that I get little or no buffeting. About half way up. If it gets colder or rain I typically put it up  so that I am looking through it and it shields my face better. Also depends which helmet I'm waring.

  • It's only really cold if you fall down in it.
    • C-14 farkles you almost cannot ride without.

It depends on the size of the windshield and of course the sitting height of the rider but I look over a windshield that is nearly 10" taller than the stock one on a 2008 C-14, when it is fully up (Easy Boys!).

The CalSci website has a pretty good method to figure out the right height windshield for a specific person. It is here: http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/Fairing.html  and the measuring system is about 1/2 way down the page. In fact, lots of excellent info. on motorcycles in general on that page.
