Windscreen and Rain
Hey all,
I did a search but didn't find this topic. I really like the protection of the stock windscreen from the wind and I get 0 wind buffeting. But I got caught out in the rain the other day and it did **** to keep it off my face. Luckily I had a helmet in the trunk. I had to pull off an put it on because I couldn't see anything.
Anyone have this experience and find something that keep the buffeting away and move some of rain? If there is no better solution, thats fine, I'll stick with what I have and deal.
Thanks!

Tuck up closer and deeper behind the shield. Itll help you see through it in the rain, and help keep spray off your face.
Riding in the rain is wet, just the way it is. Thats why there are finger wiper blades for motorcyclists. Seriously.

Is this just a general question? No clue what bike and windshield you have, as some do better than others.
I was in Decatur Illinois in a wicked rain storm, and bought a 10" WindSplitter to replace the 7", it did much better.

When I tour I'm wearing a full face or, more likely, a modular. Not all, but some of my gloves have the little wiper blade on the left thumb. It works!
