One of the best purchases I have ever made for my bike. I installed the 14" X 14" Windvest today on my scoot and WOW, what a difference in the ride. It is about 47 degrees here today and I could ride in this all day long. You definitely still feel the wind but it really, really knocks it off your chest and face. I could ride 70+ now with no neck aches and feel like I am going to get blown off the bike!

I also like how it blends right with the bike. I fought buying a windshield for many months but after riding any length of time at highway speeds, it wore me down and my neck got sore from fighting the wind. The only downside is I am going to have to get a normal helmet and keep the polo as a spare. The lip on the front of the polo caused a little buffeting and I could see it moving around. I flipped it around backwards and it went away... so I am going to grab a normal peanut to wear.

Anyway, here are some pics... to me, it blends with the bike beautifully and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb.













So if anyone is debating on getting a windshield, I cannot recommend Windvest enough. It did take me a few rides to get it tuned in and with it really windy today I am still not sure it is exactly right but even if the best it ever got was like today, that's FINE with me... it was MUCH better and less fatigue than riding without a shield.

 

Once you start you never stop, less tired less wind noise and you hear everything around you better. The down side, does not look as good and the cool bikers make fun of you.

 

Oh well... it still looks sweet to me.

 

........... Looks Good

 

I love mine. I've had it on two bikes now.

Here's a little windvest trivia...did you know that harley tried to buy them out but they wouldn't sell?

 

Glad to hear such positive comments on the Windvest. I ordered one for my Fat Bob and when I opened the box the "glass" was in three pieces, waiting on the new one.

 

Gotta say 'it blends'. Wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't mentioned it.

 

Looks good! I have tried several windshields on my FXSTC but no luck. Looks wise I'm fine with it, but the buffeting is not acceptable. I have tried different helmets, some better than others but always there.

At this point I don't want to waste any more $$ looking for a shield.

 

You tried the Windvest on your FXSTC? If so, which size and how tall are you? There should be no issues with buffeting... its just a matter of getting it "tuned in". I had to take mine on two different trips, at different speeds, to get it right. And it was really windy today so it made it a little more tough. I could tell though, that most of the wind was hitting the sides of my face, at different times...not in one blast so I know it was the cross winds hitting me.

 

It's can be a tough choice...you want to ride with a windshield...or look good without one? Luckily, on a HD you can do both!
Cheers!
