Default Wind Deflector
I installed the wind deflector that fits on the forks. Wow...what a difference that made. All this time I thought I was going to need a taller windshield, and yet it was just that 24.00 part.

Thanks forum members for the tips given.

I believe it's still available in black if you don't want to call attention to it.

So does this cut out all the "up draft" wind you get when your riding with the windshield?? I have a RK Cust and when I put my shield on...the wind that comes up from the bottom is where I get all the problems.
