I am interested in the windshield adjuster. How well does it work? What were you experiencing before and what did you do to cure it?
Beer and
"Vegimite" - That's what you guys are missing...
One screen
Does not do it all TC...
I found the standard screen was great around town and in the dirt, and the Calsci type touring screen was great on the highways or open road.
The large screens have a huge downfall when it comes to turbulence when following traffic, and, I believe have no place at all in the bush or off-road, or around town on a hot day.
Apart from the above,
IN MY OPINION ONLY, the larger touring screens look downright ugly on these bikes.
Even the standard screen limits airflow during really hot weather and the only way you can get all the good attributes with one good looking screen is to have it adjustable.
During the course of a normal week I may change my screen angle and attitude 3 or 4 times... I live remote from the city and always set the screen "up + bottom forward" for the highway run down to the flatlands.
This gives me the the smoothest, buffet free ride.
When I head bush the screen goes down + bottom slightly forward. This gives me the best airflow at the shoulders and helmet (on the pegs all the time) and tends to keep me a bit cooler.
The same applies on a warm day on the road. I tend to set the screen further forward at the bottom (either up for highway or down for commute) and this allows a clean fresh flow of undisturbed air at my chest.
The setup will differ from one rider to the next, but I have found that the bottom forward screen allows enough gap for air to pass under the screen and up the back face of it allowing a balance of the pressure drop behind the screen.
This seems to be the main cause of the buffeting with our bikes.

P.S - It's amazing how much difference a half inch move or tilt up, down, forward or back makes, so dont be afraid to get it right - and then mess around a little bit more...
