I’ll never get how anyone can ride a bike with a windshield. Unless it’s some monolith of plastic like you see on the big touring bikes, they always just make the noise and turbulence worse for me.

I’ve tried, but I always just end up taking them off of my bikes. Clean air >>>>>>>>> Turbulent air

I’ve tried a bunch of them, from factory to hyper-adjustable Madstads. I honestly think it’s just down to my body type. I’ve got really short legs and a really long torso, so I tend to stick up higher than a “normal” person would. This ended up being my solution on my Tiger. It looks dumb as hell but it was the quietest I ever got that bike.
Yes. That is a cutting board on a RAM mount.
I also tried one of the “bubble” screen similar to what you’ve got on the SV when I had my VFR, but that only worked if I went into a full tuck, which isn’t really feasible for any length of highway riding.

I just took the “redirect, don’t obstruct” methodology of the Madstad and gave up on trying to get the air -over- my head, and instead decided the best course was to redirect the turbulent air coming off the gauge cluster.
