Ok, the original thread is gone and I have no idea who is next in line to try these nor do I know who the original owner/thread starter was. Anyone have any ideas?So there are two or thee windshields to try?, i would like one just a little taller than the stock but not that big as the V-Stream that you describe
As for the windshields, tried the decided to try the V-Stream first since it was the only one I was interested in. HOLY FRIGGIN HUGE WINDSHIELD, BATMAN! Not only was it huge but it looked like an eyesore in comparison to the sleek lines of the C14. But, I decided to try it on the road anyway. First thing I noticed was the stream of air that normally hit me in the chest was gone. I don't know that that's a good thing, though since a nice breeze to the chest on a hot day is really refreshing. Second, in the "fully up" position it felt really strange looking through the windshield. Almost annoying. So much so that I kept it lowered enough that I could see over it. Last thing I noticed was that in the "fully up" position, at highway speeds (75mph~) I could carry on a conversation with my wife on the back of the bike.... Not through bluetooth, just straight up talking. That was pretty cool but not cool enough to justify the negatives I had for it. It would probably be a nice windshield to keep the cold air off you in the wintertime but for the upcoming summer, I need more air.
Since the second windshield that came was even bigger I decided not to even install it. I'll likely keep the stock one or find a shorter aftermarket model.
So, who gets these next? I can have them out by the end of the week.
I guess we'll have to start a new list. Sorry to anyone who may have been in line but it would be unfair of me to hold on to them while we wait for a proper list to compile. So far I have it as (from the thread and PMs);
gildaguz
jaclaw
JedHed
I have gildaguz's address and will have these out by this weekend.
Also, just so everyone's aware I will continue the shipping deal the same way it came to me. The guy that shipped them to me paid for it so I'll do the same to the next guy. I'm assuming that's how it's been done the whole time and it's of no real importance anyway since you'd end up paying for some shipping somewhere in this deal.
ok soooo how does this work?
i think that i would like to be on this list you have.......i think.
I was next after powrtrippin, we had discussed shipping but you can skip me. I got to try out a couple with different shields recently and I am stickin with the OEM for now.after 28k+ miles with CB UT shield, last weekend I changed back to the original and it seems I like it enough at least around town to keep it there... I need to check it again on the backroads at higher speeds...
Thanks
I recieved them in good shape on Monday and have tried both. I too am sticking with the '08 OEM screen for summer and at least for now the KAW tall screen for cooler weather. List as I see it is;
1. JedHed
2. Atilla457
3. Pynikal
I need Jedhed to send me his address and I will get these out next week. I think I will retire the box.
