KGT windscreens
Hey, I have noted people rip on or are satisfied with many of the aftermarket screens. It is obvious that this is a very subjective issue.
I am in the process of selling my Vstream (25.25") for my K1300GT. I put the tall (24.5") stock back on and I will say that the Vstream is a vast improvement (I had forgotten how much better the Vstream was than the stock); unfortunately, it is just not good enough for me.
I am 6'0" and the stock comes up to just under my chin, the vstream to just above chin level at the highest setting; I tried the 28" Vstream and it was too tall and just came closer to my face. I suppose the ideal height is about level with my lower lip.
I have noticed that several folks like the idea of a short ("sport") screen. If I go above 60 mph with my windscreen at the lowest position, it is quite noisy. I saw a Wunderlich (SAENG) clamp-on lip and saw the photo of the "Laminar Lip." I will contact the Laminar folks to ask a few questions as the Wunderlich clamp on looks kinda silly or at least would be something that is difficult to get used to looking at.
I have been mulling over the Aeroflow; the taller version is $385+shipping! The Vstream looks to be a bit wider at shoulder height than the Cee Bailey's (the Cee Bailey appears to sort of follow the diamond shape of the stock). I got my Vstream for $239 including shipping; the Cee Baileys is $200+$22 for shipping.
I want to find out if the Cee Baileys is truly more "upright" than the Vstream. I have test ridden the K1600GT and it tiny v-cut windscreen works pretty well, partly because the fairing is bigger and the screen goes up almost to a vertical position.
If there is no first hand knowledge of these differences between the Vstream and the Cee Baileys, I will let folks know what I come up with. I would like to hear back on any folks that have had good luck with the Aeroflow, too. What a pain this is!
