2008 Windscreen question

Post by Rider1260 »

Hi Gang
I did some searching but there really wasn't an answer that I found.
I'm 5'10" and ride the stock seat on the low position I am wondering for those who have changed how much benefit ( or negative ) I would get from changing the screen to something like the National Cycle VStream ( I haven't seen any other options available for my year )
It looks to be 2 in taller , the videos look promising what I was hoping is to run the shield lower so I can see over it better and still get a reasonably quite ride , and not affect the handling.
Im not 100% unhappy as it just wondering if I can do better.
Happy riding !!! [size=25px]

Hi, I'm also 5'10 (and a bit) and fitted a Vstream, I found it to be just too tall and the top of the screen right in my line of sight in its lowest position so I went back to the stock screen. The Vstream probably suits people who are 6' and over.
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)
