I've had mine basically since my bike was brand new I have over 32,000 miles on it and I'm very happy with it I have the clear one and the adjustments and everything work perfectly I was concerned about high speeds cuz I'm not a slow driver and it has not skipped a beat
Is the one in the photo from 7Jurock? How do you like the one from Cal Sci?Well, I wound up buying one. And I can add my experience to this thread. The shield sucked for me. They made it taper down narrow at the front to be the same width as the little fairing/cover bit there. It lets a lot of wind in to hit your body and go up under your chin and in your face. I bought a piece of polycarbonate from home Depot and filled in where I thought the air was coming from, and it made it a lot better. I have a shield coming from Cal Sci now that should be about the same shape as what I wound up with , with my add on piece. Also tall enough to hopefully not need the spoiler on top. I'm taller than most, so I struggle with wind protection, but I think anybody would be unhappy with the win d the polish shield lets in at the bottom. I'm also going to make lower wind deflectors that mount on the forks to see if that helps. This add on piece was only an experiment and not meant to look pretty or be permanent.
I've had cal Sci make me a couple of "barn doors" I'm still in the tweaking process with bigger/smaller/none at all wind deflectors on the forks. Windshield angles and size. look through, or over. And at what speed for both. My cal sci's are far from the ones on their website, so I cant really comment on them. The set up now gives great wind protection, but it moves the bike around on the highway at high speed, and more so on windy days. Its harder for me with windshields as Im 6'5" with a long torso. some pics in this thread. 2025 Rocket 3 GT Touring Windshield...edit: no, the one in the photo is similar in shape to the 7jurock, but I got it on eBay. I think from Poland. for the not cheap price of around $300. It Went in the garbage. I think I'm over a grand in windshield purchases/experiments now. I wont give up until the rocket is a comfortable tourer (with a very short fuel range)
My GP Kompozit works well. I fitted it on the standard mounts and spaced it out, so it was slightly more upright. Using the standard mounts means it sits a couple of inches higher too.
I'm in the same boat, with the same goal. Except I'm only 5'11". I don't want my helmet getting pummeled, but cant have something catching wind like you're describing. I've got a Powerbronze Powerblade on order. Hopefully I can hit it on my first shot.
