Changed the windshield angle
Glider,
I think I showed you how up right the windshield was on my bike. I made links today to get it to lean back. Al

There is a problem, I feel the buffeting is excessive. Wind gusts, passing or following a semi puts you on notice real quick. I have a feeling of pushing the air forward instead of it flowing off the shield. I can't prove this will make a difference yet, to much road salt spray and it's still a bit chilly here. I'll post the results. I have the quick release on my XL, it leans back. The buffeting is minimal compared to the FXSTC's uppright. Al Quote:

Please post the results when you get a change, very engineering pieces by the way.

Re: Changed the windshield angle
Genius!!! It always amazes me when someone comes up with something small that can make such a difference. Well done!! Make sure you get a patent on it before you go shopping it to companies.

I think it will help. I've got mine angled back quite a bit. leaning it back will also lower the top of the screen a little. |
