Re: windshield report
Not exposing any skin will remove the wind chill factor, also.

Re: windshield report
Brothers and Sisters, I am happy to announce that I have finally found true windshield happiness. Just adding longer bolts and 1/2" spacers under the lower bracket mount makes my CalSci XL screen perform as perfectly as I could hope, and all for only $3.59! Mark at CalSci stocks longer bolts and spacers, so if you order from him (or have ordered from him), just ask. I found mine at the local specialty tool shop. With this setup I can comfortably cruise at 80, open-faced, and have taken it to 100 mph. Problem solved! I'm now free for further farkeling...

Re: windshield report
So by adding the longer bolts and spacer you tilted the windscreen back toward you.Toward horizontal . Less straight up and down?

What is happening to my skin?
Where is that protection that I needed?
Air can hurt you too

Re: windshield report
Yep, tilted it back toward me, increased the rake, however you want to say it. I didn't measure it before, but now it is raked at 30° from the vertical.

Re: windshield report
I went for a ride today with the 16" CB that I got from Rich on this forum. It is gonna be the one for me so I've got a 18" CB, a 20" CB, & a 22" Parabellum for sale. All are clear and mount to the stock BMW tall bracket.

Re: windshield report
Just as a complete aside looking at the windchill factor chart. No problems like that here in South Oz..today was 45.1 degrees... Centigrade that is,with 6/7 forecast > 40....what happens to aircooled motors then??/
Talk about a "sunburnt country"
Your bad choice,no one else to blame.

Re: windshield report
So how does the 16" CB screen compare with the BMW "tall screen"??AmostThere wrote:5'10" w/ a 30 inch length on my Levi 501s but my Mayer seat is taller than stock and I am pretty wide with a HUGE armored jacket.MJB wrote:AmostThere wrote:I went for a ride today with the 16" CB that I got from Rich on this forum.

Re: windshield report
I saw a summary report somewhere and as I recall the BMW Touring screen was shorter (3-4"??) than the CB 16"...

But... I was really asking about air turbulance, and buffeting...
Sorry about the confusion, I really need to start expressing myself more clearly.
