I know this is a common topic but I was unable to get an answer. I'm 5'11" and am looking for a screen to stop the buffering. I don't want it to be like a Goldwing but the buffering is driving me nuts. I have the MRA but that didn't solve my issue. Let's here your suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Hey Paulmc, I'm coming to your rescue
I have tried 9 or 10 different windscreens
so I know windscreens!
I am 6'1 and have tried stock, VStream (tried to slot the holes so I could slide this one higher on the mount and trashed it early on), CeeBaileys (2 different versions), CalSci 2 different versions), MRA (twice
) Aeroflow and am back to the VStream (a new one)
I prefer the look of the VStream to the others but it was never "quiet" or "smooth"...until I recently that is. I added a clear MRA XCreen spoiler to the VStream and man, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Now my ride is SMOOTH and QUIET! It added the extra height I needed and at the same time really smoothed out the wind that does get through. It makes the wind smoother just like the full MRA windscreen/spoiler assembly (AKA XCreen windscreen) but is much quieter than that (the MRA XCreen windscreen was never quiet). The spoiler has extension arms that can be assembled but I have it on my bike without the arms and it works so good!
BTW, I too have the Madstad brackets but even those weren't that good. They made the noise behind the VStream more tolerable but still wasn't what I was hoping for.
The XCreen spoiler on the VStream or, from what I can tell, any windscreen (even stock) makes a HUGE difference! I love th esetup and will do it again when I buy my new C14 after IMS in November (wanna see what the 2017 looks like before buying the new one). I will probably buy the 2016 and will add the XCreen spoiler to the stock screen and call it a day for the windscreen! It's a GREAT solution!
Let me know if you have any questions!
Mike
