Looks awesome but I'm sure its spendy.

My 2014 has a triumph flyscreen,I did not like it and put a triumph windshield on.
After the first season,I put flyscreen back on. After first ride, I put windshield back on.
I like the looks of the flyscreen, but that's it.
Strange, because I also ride a suzuki gsx1300r, and have no issue with the wind.
Must be the seating position difference.

Without a doubt.

That there looks like it would be a bear to clean bugs from . . .

Bugs are too scared to land on it

On the Clearview shield... Does anyone have the clearview shield with the fog light cutouts?

I am looking for information on how the fog lights work and how does the clearview shield with the cut out looks? Pictures would help a lot!

The Sport screen is awesome. Works better than I hoped. I can pop the windshield on my full face helmet without getting a wind blast directly into my face. I'm 5'7"ish, 5'8" if I'm feeling good about myself with a short torso.

Forgive me if this has been addressed (I looked but perhaps not hard enough).

I'm getting to that age when the buffeting of air is getting to be a little too much at speeds over 115kph.

I am desperately opposed to a fairing of any kind.

I would like to know if a Flyscreen works to reduce the upper body airflow encountered over 115kph (70mph), or does it simply direct it up to your head & shoulders.

I know I can achieve this with a windshield BUT I would prefer to not install it if a Flyscreen will do.

Please I am looking for an answer from my fellow captains, I don't need any BS about getting old or how fast is fast, or any other troll behaviour.

My edit as this seems to be a factor in the decision: I am just shy of 6' tall. I wear a half-helmet when legally required too. My drive to work is mainly highway at about 130kph (80mph) for 95km (60miles). We do a two-week trip each summer (4000km - 6000km trips to south eastern US, east coast of Canada and USA, etc).

Thanks in advance,

I have used both fly screen and windshield, as change them per the seasons. Neither resolved buffeting. When riding, I put my hands where the most airflow was - seemed to be coming from just below the handlebars.
I installed the lower deflectors and they made the most difference. Still not perfect, but a noticeable change.

MY clearview screen has arrived, but alas work keeps me from putting it on. It has vent on it, which is said to cure buffeting. We shall see.
