I see that CeeBaileys is now offering a screen for the S10. Anyone have one and like it?
Anyone Have the CeeBaileys Screen?

I'm a big Cee Bailey Fan. Have had their products on 3 bikes now. The quality of the acrylic is outstanding. I've been waiting for CB to produce something and I'm glad you brought it to everyones attention. Unfortunately I don't like the look of it. Right now I'm using the stock screen with this Touratech product with good highway results.

I like the versatility and it is quiet on the HWY. I'm 5'11"
I have the CB head light protector on my KLR and may do the same for the S10. I like the design of the Yamaha headlight protector better but I don't think it is available in the states.

Would also like to hear some opinions from anyone who has one. However, I was already having a tough enough time deciding between CalSci and Parabellum...

Have to say the Ceebaily screen does nothing for me either ( coming from a guy who is still waiting to purchase his dream machine ( March/April...) I promise..)
Seems kind of BeeHivish.... if indeed that is a word???

Since CeeBaileys is nearby, I managed to get my hands on a pre-production shield about a week ago, excellent quality and service. I'm 6'4" with a 36" inseam..so I'm all legs. I got a 24" with a slight tint and it's perfect...Me likey. ::013::

Thank you for giving your height and inseam.la-motor said:
I have nothing against the CeeBailey windscreen and think it looks to be built well but I have a couple questions...
... is there an upward curve at the top of the windscreen? I hope so.
... what position do you have your windscreen mounted. I prefer to mount the windscreen in the lowest position especially during the cold months.
...are you using the wind deflectors?
The believe the upward curve or lip is what makes the difference with buffeting. The example is the two stock windscreens. The larger windscreen does not have a lip and the smaller windscreen does. The smaller windscreen projects the air over the rider and the larger seems to use a downward curve and aims the air at the riders head. I do like the coverage that the larger windscreen provides. The CeeBailey windscreen might provide coverage and project the air over the rider.
me: 6' with a 32" inseam
There IS slight upward curve to the shield that allows me to run the shield in the LOW position. The top of the shield sits about 3" below my line of sight and the upward curve sends the airflow just over my helmet. This also allows me to run the shield in the TOP position if needed. I don't currently have the wind deflectors...and I'm not sure they would be needed. However, CeeBaileys is currently working on wind deflectors for the Super10 s well..tomatocity said:
Below is the CalSci windscreen. Do you see an upward curve on that anywhere? Shoot Mark Lawrence at CalSci an email telling him about your theory...I'm positive he will have an argument against it backed-up by more objective data. The overall design and coverage of the wind screen is what affects buffeting. The mere presence of an upward curve doesn't mean that's why the shorter screen had less buffeting. Sometimes shifting the airsteam slightly DOWN, among other variables, will eliminate buffeting.tomatocity said:
Hi Tim, I have used both the Calsi and the Parabellum and neither have the lip on them. I chose the Parabellum because it did the best job eliminating the buffeting and blocked the air hitting my shoulders. The workmanship on the Para was superior to the Calsi.tomatocity said:
The Parabellum has been getting very good reviews. To add to the lip, or upward curve subject, there seems to be consensus among competent wind screen designers who actually have a background with aerodynamics. The consensus is that an upward curve does absolutely nothing to eliminate buffeting and, in some situations, could actually make buffeting worse because it disturbs the air flow. Cee Baileys, Parabellem, CalSci are all great windsheilds base on knowledge and sound design...none of them have an upward curve.japako said:
Don't get your panties in a bunch! I don't believe I said anything about having a theory about the upward curve and wind buffeting? I'm simply stating that it works for me.Tremor38 said:Below is the CalSci windscreen. Do you see an upward curve on that anywhere?

Tremor, I live less than ten miles from CalSci and have been there and did not leave with one of his windshields. Asked him about the a upward curve and he siad "I don't like that". also asked about the vent in the windscreen and he said "your going to get wet when it rains". The edge finish on his windscreens is rough. While I was there a rider came in to get his windscreen squared up. The windscreen they were installing was also not square. Another issue is the lack on thickness for the CalSci windscreens. All this information in one visit. I had higher hopes for a vendor so close to my home town.Tremor38 said:Below is the CalSci windscreen. Do you see an upward curve on that anywhere?

The Cee baileys I had on my FJR had the curved up lip on it, and I liked it. IIRC the page said (it's changed and this was for a gen1 FJR) That the lip added some "virtual" height to the shield. That is, it pushed the air up higher than a flat one of the same size. I never wanted a gigantic windshield on any bike, I think they are ugly and don't let enough air by in the summer, so I wanted the curve so I could keep the shield smaller for aesthetics. Being able to adjust the height and angle on the FJR was a huge plus, and I'll likely add an adjustable bracket to my current setup because I know how great it is.
Every bike and every rider is different, so I wouldn't expect every shield shape to work on every bike for every person. Cee Bailey's still offers a "reverse contour" for the FJR, and I hoped they would make a similar one for the ST. They make an exceptional product, I've owned two of their shields for different bikes. When the ST shield came out, I was disappointed in how it looked, I was hoping for a narrower shield that expanded on the stock styling strengths with Cee Baileys quality when it came to fit and finish.
I figured most manufacturers didn't offer a "flip" on the lip because it adds time to development and complexity to the product. Cee Bailey's also mentions it affects the optical quality, which some might not like if they like to look through it.

From Sir Cum Navigate. Cee Bailey screen installed. Get a height that you can see over. You also have two positiions for up and down. Depends on your height. Iam 5' 10" and a 22" screen on the low setting seems to be just right. At first I had a lot of cold air coming around the bottom of the screen and up under my helmet. My chin and mouth got cold. I added the factory yamaha side wings. and this seemed to solve the problem. Good Luck.
