After a four hour trip to visit my daughter where wind gusts were 30 mph and traffic moves at 80 mph I am considering adding some wind protection to my R18. I've got the basic model and my height leaves me with a lot of wind blast to my head, more than I remember on other bikes I've had. I've tried different helmets, which has helped, but still looking at a decent windshield or fairing. I did a search but didn't find anyone who had mentioned installing one.
I test rode a R18 Classic and the stock windshield was awful- it was like putting my helmet in a paint shaker at highway speeds. A shorter or taller windshield would be better, I think. When looking at the cost of adding the stock windshield hardware and a decent windshield I realized I was getting into the ballpark for the Corbin fairing. Anyone install this? I'm curious what the riding experience is like. I haven't seen any other fairings available, or I would certainly consider those as well.
If you've added a windshield or fairing, I'm very interested to hear what you think of it so far.
