CaryB whats your impression of rider comfort of the tall compared to stock? I have no good position with the stock shield. I tried a vstream but it was to hot and looked to big. It also give me a headache on the left side of my head (unknown reason) but it did it every time I used it in the raised position.
The V-Stream as a summer shield? Not likely. Try it next fall/winter and see what you think of it. In 100+ temps you'll need to sacrifice a bit of "quiet" for better airflow. If you're looking for a single shield that will do everything, then all I can say is good luck. I've owned just about every windscreen known to the FJR community and have come to the followings conclusions. #1 - What works for someone else doesn't mean it will work for you. The only way (unless ya just get lucky) to find what works for you is to lay your money down and try as many configurations as you can afford till you come upon the "answer". #2 - I'm convinced that ya need not one, but two windscreens. One for summer, one for the cooler months. Hopefully you'll come upon the right solution before you go broke!
Thanks to all for replys-I am thinking I may cut down the tall screen 1 or 2 inches and try that as it appears the air is cleaner to start with than the stock. I am 5/11 and have noisy rough air in all positions with the std 06 screen. I am starting to think that riding with no screen may be better than stock. Vstream was quiet but had traits (heat,effected handling,large size,head and neck ache in raised position and others) I didnt like that canceled out the still air.
Jeff-Thanks for comment-trying Yammie next because of the price and more stock appearance if that doesnt work I was looking at the CB after that. I like the fact you can order different sizes with the CB dont want a Goldwing ride just smoother air without the buffeting.
