yep - before with stock or ZG - wind straight in the chest/neck

MRA puts it up over top of my lid - but I am over 6ft - so depends on your height I'd say

I'm a 6-footer. Maybe with the Corban saddle I'm not noticing the head/chest buffet as much. My Bell helmet used to push into my face at anything over 80mph. My new AGV doesn't. But MRA touring looks like it would do a good job. I might choose it over the zero gravity

Corbin helps a bit as you can seat a bit further back and get down a bit more but for
high speed sustained highway riding ( do 32 miles e/w everyday - 95% highway)
the MRA takes the "work" out of it imo

and I just started noticing these recently too - don't look half bad - somebody should
give them a try and a review

Got this one on my '88 .... bought it second hand off EBay for £40 .... I'm about 6' 1" and if you duck under the screen slightly at well into triple figures, it's great..... no wind buffeting at all ... 80 to 100 and you can sit upright - the wind just goes over your head

No idea who made it, but someone might recognize it???

I'd be interested to know what make it is, if anyone can identify it.

Regards,

shakey

Did a 60 mile round trip on the interstate (at almost legal speed), trying to concentrate on where I feel any buffeting. Maybe the combination of the Corbin and my naturally bad posture makes it less pronounced to me
