Shorty wind screen

[johndeeredr]

When my R18B was delivered to me it had a shorty wind screen. I was told that those do a better job of preventing wind buffing ? Explain that one to me . I took it off and installed a klockwerks even before I took my first ride . Still have it and may give it a try . Anybody else have and experience with it ?Its a BMW screen .

I think some people, but not all, confuse wind with buffeting

Guess I’ll have to try it once and find out .

Maybe your bike has the Wind Deflector vs the Stock Windshield? (See below.image of the deflector)

My Model B has the stock Windshield, I don't experience the buffeting issues that others report; perhaps, I'm sitting slightly different and the TC Wind Management pieces help to knock down the buffeting..?

 

[johndeeredr]

That’s it .

The klockwerks 14 inch windshield and the lower wind deflectors do a decent job for me .

it came with that wind deflector but I never rode with it it on . Does it work?

Any crappy pictures of the wind deflector that your Model B came with..? Is the Deflector clear or the Black version?

I thought about trying the Deflector during the Summer Season, I imagine it will provide nice clean air vs that little turbulence I feel just on the leading edge of my helmet (I wear a half lid - 1/3 )

Yes, I have one. I like to use it in the summer, you get the wind in your face, but no buffeting.

That looks good . Think I’ll keep mine .

Do yourself a favour, and order a set of the 6 rubber grommets. So much easier to change screens then.

That looks really nice. I tried the stock windshield, the taller BMW windshield and also the 20” 7jurock. I’ve been happiest without a windshield and am either going to order the low windscreen or try to make one out of the other windshields.
