RE: Windshield for R1100R (2001)



I have an Aeroflow on my '00 R1100R.  No buffeting, quiet, good hand
protection.  I don't flip my face shield down until I hit 50mph.  The bottom
half of the wind screen goes a little lower than the headlight, and is
rounded, so it acts like a fairing.  I don't get a lot of wind on my legs.

Tried this, got lots of buffeting.

Haven't tried those.

Have also tried:

- - Parabellum Scout - Works, but is big for every day use. Very small amount
of buffeting. Nice for touring.

- - Wudo fairing - Minor protection. Lots of turbulence (I'm 5'4", wind hits
my chin). But it looks so cool it is my current fairing. I have tubular bar
mounts with K1 bars.

- - National Cycle Deflector - works about as well as the Wudo, but it doesn't
look as cool.
