Batwing without windscreen
As told in another thread I hate the buffeting and beatbox when I am riding my 07SG. I don't mind sitting in the wind as long as there is no turbulence (around my head, don't mind on body).
Anyone knows what will be the effect of riding a batwing without a windscreen. Weather is not very good over here so I can't experience myself at the moment. Anyone did this silly experiment?
Pleae let me know your opinion.

I've actually seen a lot of people here in the states ride their bikes sans windshield. I think it looks a little strange but hey, "to each his own." Give it a try and see if you like it. It makes for a rather unfinished look though.

Honestly, it's not going to be much different than w/stock "shorty" shield. Also, the look wouln't be impressive at all. Try it, but do yourself a favor & invest in taller shield w/fork baffle (one under tree - not attached to forks)...JMO.

I agree. Get yourself a Windvest windshield in the proper height and a fork baffle. It will kill 90% of your problem.

Another good addition, if you haven't done it, are the wings that attach to the sides of your fairing.

I agree with NVSteve! I have an Ultra and I tried taking the wings off just to see what it would look like with out it. Looks were fine, but when I took it for a test ride, I realized where the buffeting everyone talks about comes from.
