I picked up a Memphis Shades windscreen from the local bike shop and mounted it on my Roadster. It's very nicely made and I think it looks great, but I'm disappointed in the way it behaves on the road. This is my first experience with a screen so I'll ask a few questions here.
Wind off the top of the screen hits me squarely in the face. I wear a full face Arai helmet that's normally extremely quiet, but the turbulence I'm getting sounds like a hurricane. I can hardly hear the Norton.
My hope was that the screen would protect me a bit and make highway touring less tiring, and maybe even deflect rain over my head. That's not what I got. Maybe I chose the wrong screen?
I have it adjusted so it angles back toward me, and haven't yet experimented with that. Should these things be straight up? What kind of experiences do you guys have with these things?
