Windshield---WOW
Just got my quick release WS from Zanotti's and put it on. Went for a spin on the big road and 75 mph no longer wants to rip me off the bike. WOW what a difference!!!
For whatever reason it seems to mellow out the sound from the SE11 exhaust. Maybe because most of the wind is deflected over my helmet.Had a little buffeting around the helmet but nothing on the chest and not bad at all. The top of the WS is about chin high...
It did suck a full pack of smokes out of my t-shirt pocket around 70...Must build up negative pressure because I have ridden hundreds of miles and never had that happen without a WS...
Makes me wonder why I got the quick release since I will almost certainly leave it on......Very comfy riding...
Also put on a set of driving lights but I will probably move them because the WS blocks them a little...
I be a happy camper....
Oh and for all you folks in the ice belt the temp is around 78 here today!!!

Yep, windshields make a huge difference! Weirdly enough I still prefer to go w/out WS when the temps are above 80 degrees. When it gets hot you'll sweat behind a windshield. I figure hot air is better than none or a little. You'll definitely want to ride more in cooler temps now!

Congrats. I was the same way and after riding with one I thought "what was I doing all those years". I still take mine off for around town runs sometimes. So I'm extremely happy with the quick detach feature.
