hmm. I've never thought about doing that. I'll have to give it a try the next time *ahem* first time I take an extra long highway ride.

 

Great topic!

I have been on the fence about ordering a dbl or race screen for my 06. I'm 5'4" 184. Would I benefit from the aftermarket?

 

All I know is riding without a windscreen is MISERABLE... My 2 roommates have a 2008 Suzuki SV650 (Blue in pic) and a 2007 Triumph Speed Triple (green in pic). Both of these bikes are naked and without a front cowl or windscreen of any sorts. I have been on both bikes at highway speeds (or higher) and with nothing to tuck behind it made the ride more work than fun.

The simple explanation I gave to my little brother was to stick his head out of the car on I-35 doing 75mph and tell me how it feels.

I guess my point is that I understand looks are important to some people, such as the stunt bike look, or chopping the windscreen, but if it makes the actual riding unbearable? No thank you.

 

that photo from OP is hilarious
