Has anyone tried one of these? Just did a 10 day trip and could do with some relief from freeway speed winds on my 2006 500F. This little add on windscreen lip should push air both under and over to lessen and smooth the airflow.
Unless I hear anything to dissuade me from getting one, will let you know how it works.
Can you post a pic or link,please?
Here's a link, showing the GS500F. I did buy it.

I like the look; think it's balanced by the mirrors, although I know many will hate it!
I have tested it twice now, and it's great. I still get air flow, but it's way softer, and doesn't drum on my shoulders the way it did previously. The primary air stream has been pushed over my helmet - I had to extend my hand quite high to feel it. Plus I can feel it flowing a fair way out past either side of my body. I bought it to make freeway riding easier (I treat the bike as a sport tourer!) and it's going to do that really well. My impression is that the air flow strength on the freeway (100 to 120km/hr) is what it was previously at roughly 40km/hr slower, and is "softer" which is a bit hard to describe.
Great post! Thanks for the input :cheers:
All that matters is how it works :)
I've had one on my Ducati ST2 and it's been really nice. No complaints, other than the non-sporty looks.
yuk buy a cruiser ;)
:icon_rolleyes: :laugh:
