Greetings all! It's been a bit since I've been on checking things out. I've done a little riding, and I got some goodies over Christmas to enhance my ride quite a bit.
I got an OE windshield for my C50, and an OE set of saddle bags. The saddle bags are on, and the windscreen is on. I took it out for a spin and noticed some SERIOUS buffeting at speeds above 40-45 mph. I tried doing some adjustments, and I'm starting to get frustrated.
The only way I can comfortably ride on this bike now is to tuck my head up behind the shield or scrunch way down - hurting my back either way. If I sit anywhere close to my normal riding height, the darn thing buzzes my head so hard I can't see strait. It's bad.
The screen comes right up to the bridge of my nose when I adjust it all the way up as high as it will go. I've also tried rocking the thing forward more, and that seemed to help a little. I'm 6'1, 30" inseam. I sure hope I can adjust this thing because I really like the screen and I'd hate to think I just wasted some serious bread buying something that won't work.
The buffeting is so bad that I really don't enjoy riding with the screen. At the same time, not having the wind shoving me off my bike was quite easy to get used to, so I'm not enjoying riding without it either. I know that sounds whiney, but... Consider that 95% of my riding is at speeds at or above 55 mph.
If I can't adjust this shield some, then I guess I'll be stuck buying a memphis shades Fats 21" or something. My wife got a Big Shot for her M50, and she really enjoys it. Wish I could agree. Hope someone can help. Do I need to try adjusting this thing DOWN some? Should I angle it BACK more towards me? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I want to ride again....
