A few weeks ago I finally decided to do something about the less than stellar performance of the OEM tall Kawa windshield (stock on 2010+) of my 2012 C14; I went ahead and ordered an AeroFlow tall windshield.

Got it, installed it, tried it. Works; quiets the air around the rider with true airflow above helmet while still being below eye level.

But it also made me realized that I'm more of a wind in my face kind of guy; so on started the hunt for a 2008-2009 OEM short windshield and guess what, found one from a guy only two hours away from my home!

After riding to pick it up, I actually installed it for my return trip and there it was just like an epiphany, I had met my match. Yes the short OEM (stock on 2008-2009 C14) windshield lets more wind onto the rider but it does it in a civilized way with a lot more usable range from the electric adjustable mechanism (I'm 6'1" with 32" inseam) w/o buffeting.

So I now have an AeroFlow for sale in the Marketplace section.

Goes to show you that solutions can sometime be counterintuitive :banghead:

2009 here.
Love my OEM screen in the full down position!
It beats me up if I raise it.  :o.

I have become not so fond of my CeeBaileys Euro Tour, although the issue could be my helmet choice. Shark RSR2. Yeah, it's old.   ::)

I wish I could find one.  I checked Ebay several times and nothing.  I would be willing to buy an already really short aftermarket one instead, but it looks like the ones I have seen are not really all that short.

Talk to CalSi. Might custom cut one for you.

Looking at Sgt Mac's cutdown, I'd say my CalSci shorty is that low... just with a more square top edge.

I'm too busy (lazy) to go out and look at my bike, but you can kinda see it in my avatar.
