Bad324 Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 its not terrible looking, but its not like "oh that really ties it together" type of deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 It looks....odd. To small or something. Doesn't look right at all. If you are going for looks over functionality, take it off. If it helps, leave it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 If you are going for looks over functionality, take it off. If it helps, leave it on.this is what im thinking.... if it helps a ton, ill leave it...but if its not hardly noticeable or doesnt make some vast improvement, im thinking ill take it off...but ive had a few people say they like it, and a few say no...and im kinda up in the air about it myself at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The huge ones you see on other crusiers block rain and bugs. The small ones just get the wind off you and the difference will be huge above 50 or so.

Artmageddon Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I like these shields like this. I think it looks pretty cool, almost like the headlight cowls I've seen popping up some cruisers like the V-rod and bif Suzuki Boulevard. I bet it at least bounces the bugs over your head instead of into your mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) not only does the windshield help a TON above 60mph, it also serves as a sweet place for a cop to place a parking ticket....ill be keeping it onrode the bike to my student orientation at OU today to save gas, but i got a ticket for not parking in the motorcycle section, i was in the parking lot for cars....like it fuckin matters...i wasnt taking up any more space than a car, and i was in a spot in the corner of the lot not harming anybody....i shoulda just drove my truck and enjoyed the radio and a/c ffs, it woulda cost me the samemy orientation letter said to park in that lot, it didnt mention anything about motorcycle parking, so how was i supposed to know that i cant park my bike there...i was just parking where i was told to park...and no, there wasnt bike parking in that lotfiling an appeal on it Edited June 18, 2010 by Steve Butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 The tiny Honda flyscreen on mine is just enough to take the wind off at freeway speeds.It results in much less neck strain when on a long ride into a head wind. It's worth it just for that.edit: I think the OU has some strange ticket rules. Most places a bike can park wherever it wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
