windshield on a breakout?
#12
I use a memphis shade fairing. I also ride with a full face helmet to save the embarrassment of ruining the look of my breakout. Such a shame! All bullshit aside.... it looks good , and is functional, especially if you ride the bike a lot. It's removable in seconds but I cannot stand the wind noise and bobble head syndrome without it. Different strokes for different folks.

The bullet fairing. Any smaller or shorter I should say would not be very effective imo. Fairing is on the bike in my Sig pic, also should see it in my profile pics. I'm not claiming its the best looking fairing but I really didn't want a windshield and this one worked for me.

One thing a number of people here have used successfully is the National Cycle flyscreen. It's rather small and inconspicuous, doesn't cause buffeting, and actually works despite appearing too small to do anything. Must be that it's shaped just right. It takes the wind pressure off most of your chest. It doesn't deflect the air high enough to go over your head though, if that's what you're looking for.

Any opinions on the best looking/functional windshield for a breakout? I've never had a bike with one, but after the long trip to sd for Sturgis, I'm heavily considering it. That our a toy hauler. I've looked around here and seen some ideas. Just getting some opinions.
Just to add to....two options I was considering were the memphis shades gauntlet or cafe fairings.

When I had the Fatboy, I rode across Spain and France 3 times the long way without a windshield. I refused to put one on that bike because it would look terrible. But, what I did have was a tool roll mounted on the risers. You would be surprised just how much a 5 inch round tool roll deflects the wind, and you get to stick your tools in it too, or your sandwiches, or what ever you want really.
Have the same on the Deluxe now, and although I still get bugs in my teeth, it does take a lot of wind pressure off the chest. Mind you I got a bug hit me right under the nose today on the RK and that has a high screen on it, go figure.
