Top one certainly 'opens up' the dash. Not sure yet if I can notice any difference - only rode home from Bavarian in peak traffice so could not go much more than 140 in bursts.

Wind seems to channel onto the helmet and not the chest - but will need to do proper evaluation.

I guess the top one will be better at getting the wind off your body. Though the top looks rather good compared to the bottom one.

For what it's worth, I like the first one more for all the reasons above - nicer view on the instrument panel, better aerodynamics by the look of it (less bug splats man!), and it compliments the shape of the mirrors.

Top one - concur with Andre - will deflect the wind better. Will get less bugs in your face/visor

That makes the LT's screen look like a midget. Nice thing about having such a sail on the bike (above) is that you can close the throttle if the wind is from behind.

Moerse problem if the wind is blowing faster than you can go or if it comes from the front.

How often is the wind blowing faster from behind when you travelling at speed.

Depending on the pants you've got and the serving of baked beans you've had for breakfast. Laughing

Assuming the fetal position like most roadies do, taking into account you dont have a pillion to disturb the vortex, could add another 2 pounds of forward thrust.
Of course you know if you are wearing leather pants this could fog up your visor.

Now that I have had a chance to put on some kilometres I find the new screen to be an improvement - with one problem.

With less wind on the body the 'feel' at various speeds is different resulting on riding a bit faster than usual without realising it. Shocked

Need to watch the throttle - but in a word....it's.....
