Vstrom DL1000 best aftermarket tall shield screen windshield windscreen
I am bored with my Strom's poor wind deflection. It is a K3 model, the type with a non-adjustable screen. I have so far looked at the madstad system, Givi tall screen, suzuki tall screen, Rifle screens, MP cycle shields, the windstrom manta and more.... But they all look like crap (just being honest) and I have no confidence in them without having tried them. Also it is only during high speeds that I have the noise/buffeting problem, and I get the impression that some reviewers are just pottering around the village, not mentioning different speeds in their reviews at all.
I'm still in the dark. So far, the windstrom sounds great for my model bike from a practical perspective, but it really looks like it was made for a completely different bike, the way it 'tacks on' to the frame - horseshit design in terms of looks, and my bike is kind of ugly but noble at the moment, not completely hideous.
One other point to mention. Living in a city where people steal EVERYTHING that isn't nailed down (London), I don't want to put in place any adjustable system, madstad et al, but rather a fixed, higher screen. It will draw less attention to itself, and maybe last a few more months before some crack heads nick it and put it on ebay.
Please, fellow travellers, can we share experiences about these screens? In ridiculously geeky detail? There are so many half baked comparisons out there - but people on this site are the ones doing the serious miles! What do you like/dislike? Can you compare more than one screen, having used two, or several?
Many many thanks in advance..... Got a ride to barcelona coming up soon so need to buy something.
