I just installed a $30.00 deflector on my screen and can't believe I waited 6 years to do this ! When new I bought the OEM tall sceen & winglets which helped with a little buffeting and noise I didn't like & I was happy. I recently installed a Russel day long and it's a bit higher and I think put me in a bad spot for wind protection A few days ago I did 6 hrs on the Highway at 75-80mph it was pretty windy I couldn't even hear my music and had some buffeting going on. Today I rode with the deflector played around with adjustment so it's aprx. 1" above the screen so I'm looking over it, and at 75-85mph it was real nice & quite I could hear the stock exhaust & music was no problem the best 30 bucks I've spent on the bike so far. Had screen in high position so if gets to hot I can just drop screen for more air. FYI I'm 5' 10" wearing Schuberth C3 Pro

Where did you buy it? Did you drill holes in the shield to mount it?

No holes drilled just clamps on & is pretty stout hopefully it will stay that way


The seat is fantastic It's like a whole new bike really nice, it added a little height but it's not a problem for me at 5' 10" I can get my feet down just moving forward a bit from riding position and with the added height the seat to peg dimension is great. I also have 1" bar risers which I think you would need as the sweet spot of the seat is a little further back. I would start feeling uncomfortable after about an hour on the stock seat finally made the switch rode for 6 hrs the other day and was very happy when they say "day long" it's true.

I’ve been running one of these screen visor thingies for 3 years now. Simple, cheap, but very effective.
