If anyone has a 2015+ vented windshield that they have hanging around, I'd really like to get one before summer gets here in Phoenix.
 
I suggest a MRA Vario Touring instead.
It's a shorter than a stock shield (so it's cooler in summer} but because of the design, it actually gives more protection {from rain}.


Ride safe, Ted
 
Thank you, sir. I may go that route. I don't really want to go any shorter, if I don't have to. I'm 6'5" and I was kicking around the idea of something a little taller.

If you try one and don't like it, try adding madstad brackets. Without the brackets, air hit me at eye level and I would have gotten rid of it. Now I can ride with my helmet visor fully open. I'm 6'. The brackets move the shield farther away from the rider and I like that.

I understand, and only offering suggestion. Didn't know about your height.
NOTE: Not sure where you are, so cold may be an issues for you that is not one of our big concerns in South Texas.
I know of several taller guys that are using this screen.

MRA also offers the X-Creen for more coverage.


One of the issues we have seen with taller shields is failure of the windshield brackets. With a tall shield; If you do high speed riding, and like the shield up, they can fail..

Ride safe, Ted

PS: Everyone has their own preferences in shields.
If you get a chance, try riding a bike with the shield you choose, before you buy.
 
yep that's what happened to me I thought the vstream would work for me but just didn't like it. I run a small shield on top of my stock windscreen to help deflect some of the wind over my helmet works pretty good. i got it on twisted throttle
