Replacing OEM windshield suggestions

[mor007]

Hi, I am thinking about replacing my OEM windshield on my 2012 1600 GTL. Getting pushed around a little by the wind. Any suggestions

There are as many opinions as bikes! Lots of good info on the K1600 forum----
Enjoy reading through it all and ending up more confused than when you started!
I currently use a Ztecnic screen with Aeroflow wings and miniwings

WHAT Bruce said. Personally I use Aeroflow windshield with the wings only for winter/cold riding.

That K1600 Forum has a lot of good information. I went with the California Scientific windshield and have no complaints. Call them and they'll help you pick the right height and width based on your height and your passenger situation. Mine (tallest and widest one offered) is set up such that normal riding is with the windshield in the full-down position - and I'm still looking over it by several inches (I'm 6'4" tall). Rarely do I need to raise it up, and then it's only a few inches at best (rain, cold) and so I get good protection, no visibility issues, and the cutout in the shield eliminates the negative pressure behind the windshield that has a tendency to pull you forward. I'm happy.

I bought a short V-Stream because I was so happy with the one I had on my RT. I haven't ridden the bike yet as I just installed the replacement tonight. More to come...
