Hello All! Thought I would contribute a little with some of the mods I installed on my 16' Tenere ES recently.
I have the larger yamaha windshield on my bike and while I find it to be quite excellent in the high position, I notice that I have the slightest bit of buffeting hitting my eyes which gives me "shakey" vision when I am wearing glasses or with my visor open. To rectify this issue I thought I'd give one of those windshield extenders a try, so I made my way to the ADVMOTORAD website and purchased a Rugged Roads Extender.
first impression is that the mounting piece is a solid, good looking piece of metal. Nicely made and pretty darn sturdy. It comes with some rubber mounting parts so that it wont scratch your screen. Once installed and adjusted, I was extremely pleased to see that I can easily adjust it while riding to find what I am comfortable with. I can now say that that extra bit of buffeting is completely gone and I can ride with my visor open and not have any wind blowing into my face! Fantastic. Very happy with it.
My 1 and only complaint that may not be a big deal to most but it isn't a deal breaker is that the metal mounting part has a slight bit of weight to it, exaggarating the movement of the shield when you go over bumps and stuff. The other issue is that its a dark chunk of metal right in your line of sight. I figure you just look ahead and will eventually just forget or not even notice it after a few days of riding.
Overall I really like it, would recommend it. Plus, it looks pretty cool. ::26:: 8)
