Small Transparent

I installed the Windshield Extension the night before a 200-mile ride, so it was very much a real-world test right out of the gate. The ride included sustained highway speeds with steady 20 mph winds, followed by about 20 miles of off-pavement riding on a hard-packed but noticeably bumpy road. The tilt mechanism never slipped. I ran it up for pavement and down for off-pavement, and it stayed exactly where I set it the entire time. That was honestly my biggest concern going in, and it turned out to be a non-issue. For such a small piece of plastic, it deflects a surprising amount of wind away from the helmet visor. The reduction in wind pressure and turbulence was immediately noticeable at highway speed, not so much with the 20 mph crosswinds. The photos show the extension mounted and in use during that ride. A couple of them were taken at the “Big Chief” gas station—better known as the “Four Corners Gas” stop from Season 3, Episode 4—which made for a good excuse to document the setup mid-ride. If you’re on the fence because it looks small or “too simple” to work, don’t be. This thing punches well above its weight, installs easily, almost invisible when riding and stays put even when conditions aren’t friendly.

Not bad for the price. I read some reviews of folks adding metal bolts/wing nuts to the bracket that attaches to your stock windshield. Mine came with them along with the regular plastic lever lock system. I opted to go with the plastic bits as it looked a little cleaner once mounted and felt secure enough in my garage. About 10 minutes into my highway ride at 70 mph the right side fell apart leaving the windshield swinging in the breeze on the left mount. I was able to pull over and throw it in my saddle bag. I went home and attached it with the metal bolts and tested it again with no issues. I ride a stock Versys 650 with stock windshield in the highest position. I’m 6’. I did notice a drastic difference in wind hitting my helmet. It seemed just tall enough to push the air over my helmet. I can also hear my engine, which is relatively quiet to begin with, with the windshield on which I couldn’t before. One thing I did find which I didn’t think about before was looking through it while riding. My line of sight was just over the stock windshield and free from obstruction. Now it’s looking through this tiny windshield which gives me a little bit of a tunnel vision effect. Just thought I’d mention it for anyone else that didn’t think about this and is more focused on cutting down on the wind. Overall works well for the price, especially compared to the $150+ price tag on a new taller windshield.

Came with upgraded hardware to secure arms to mounts wich I think solved the issues with failure or weakness others have had .Ive found this a fantastic product works extremely well, tested at 110 mph and zero issues. Completly solid and has eliminated any helmet buffet at hiway speed while still maintaining a nice view over the top. I honestly feel this has made the front fairing more stable making bike more stable as well. The mounts are rock solid and I can not understand how this would ever just fall off. At this price it's a no Brainer for me . I bought the smaller version 11 inch, and has worked so well i just placed an order for the bigger one 14 inch from a different company. I prefer the clear version as well because when mounted it is in the lower line of sight. Something to concider especially if riding on rougher roads helps to see what directly in front of you. Update: the one from other company came today is not the same quality at all, returning .these wind screen are not all the same accross amazon as ive read from other reviews .I didnt realize motoparty sells a larger one aswell so I ordered one from them. will follow with Update.. Update: larger deflector came and I am just as happy with the product if not more, suits my very large motorcycle better. See my review on the larger from this vendor . I'm going to try the large deflector with the non upgraded plastic hardware and see how it does. I followed the instructions about pushing in the 360 locks to secure after adjustment and I have a feeling it will hold up just fine. I will update if the fail and go back to the upgraded wingnuts.. ..

Can't say how this will work on other bikes, but it is advertised as being compatible with a BMW R1250rs. It is absolutely not. The hardware is difficult to work with, and the instructions are so minimal as to be almost worthless. I'm a good mechanic and struggled for almost an hour trying to assemble it, and when it was finished, there was no way it would ever fit on R1250rs windscreen. In fact trying to get it to fit scratched the screen. Another bogus piece of junk made in China

Out of the box this shield is a piece of garbage- the hardware is plastic and easily falls out of place, leaving you with a floppy extra tall windshield. HOWEVER, with $8 worth of hardware you can turn it into a very sturdy piece of kit that reduces wind noise and buffering significantly. You’ll need 4x of each: 10-32 x1in Thumb screws M8 flat washers #10 flat washers #10 lock washers 10-32 wing nuts. Remove the old plastic hardware by putting it in the unlocked position and then pulling out the locking mechanisms along their twisting axis. Then remove the plastic pieces they made with (just fiddle with it and you’ll figure it out). Replace the plastic hardware with the new metal hardware in this order: Thumb screw, m8 washer, #10 flat washer, #10 lockwasher, #10 wing nut. Once you’ve done this the shield should be solid as a rock! I am quite pleased with how well it works.
