Question: does anyone installed a Rocket 3 Storm GT front screen to the R ?

My screen takes all the blast off my chest. And is comfortable at 85mph without buffeting around your helmet. I've done 7500 miles with it without a problem !
 
I installed the GT screen on my R and it makes a difference. It’s not too large, so the bike still looks great, but it gives a bit of extra wind protection. I’m really happy with it.
 
For anyone looking for a mad stad style of windshield, California Scientific makes a windshield that is pretty close in shape and size. I don't think their mounts are adjustable though.
 
Ward that looks great - how did you fabricate those extension brackets to push the screen out?

Hi gents,

the title say it all, I would like to know if adding to the Storm R a front screen from the GT is useless, or does it offer a better protection (even if limited due to its size) on the highway?

Thanks

I would not expect a huge difference, but I doubt it is completely useless either.


A small screen usually takes some of the pressure off your chest at highway speed, which can make longer rides noticeably less tiring. The downside is that depending on your height it may move the airflow straight onto your helmet and create more noise or buffeting.


If the GT screen fits without much modification and you like the look, I would probably try it. Just think of it as taking the edge off the wind rather than turning the Storm into a touring bike.


For me the biggest question would be where the airflow hits at around 70 mph. That matters more than the actual size of the screen.
