Best Tall windshield for the M ??? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

tdurham · 07-22-2008, 11:16 PM

I have a Memphis Big Shot on mine. I believe the height is 20 1/2" tall, well it ain't tall enough :0

I need about another 2" to adequately cut down on the wind noise. I can hunch over a little and it is night and day on the wind noise.

What windshield are ya'll using and how does it do on cutting down on the wind noise?

Thanks for the feedback,
TimmyD

Couldn't you just get a seat that lowers your riding position? I've read that some will do just that.

I have the Memphis Fats on mine. I'm 6'3" and it works for me.

The Big Shot works fantastic with me. I'm 6'0ft

If I get the lowering kit for it, how much do you think that will lower my sitting position in relation to the height of the windshield? If I can just get 1.5" lower, then that will make a HUGE difference in the wind noise.

I'm using a Slipstreamer Enterprise on my M50. It is wide, fairly tall at about 21" above the headlight, and can be adjusted up a bit if needed with Slipstreamer's mounting hardware.

Send me your e-mail address and I'll send you a few pictures showing how it looks on the M50. I have it adjusted so air enters above the headlight, and with the lowers deflecting air outward I get NO buffeting at head level even though I can look over the top.

I'll try to post a couple of pics here, but I haven't had much luck doing that lately.

Ray Nielsen, in Minneapolis and going for a ride tomorrow.

Hope this works to show what it looks like on an M50.
