I've had really good luck with my Plexifairing 2. I rode thru the rain a few
weeks ago. I just ducked behind my windshield and got nearly no rain on my
goggles ( I wear a 1/2 helmet and goggles.). I also have had no problems with
the wind around my helmet. HotrodMamma

That is the challenge when buying and installing a windshield. You never know
exactly how it's going to work for you until you try it. The dynamics include
windshield height, distance of windshield from rider, shape and aerodynamics of
windshield, rider height, helmet style, and so forth.
The other huge issue connected to all these dynamics is head buffeting. In
other words, the wind that swirls around your windshield and literally knocks
your head around. I've used windshields that were so amazing I had little or no
noise and so little air movement that a fly could sit safely on my speedo
console while I went down the road at 75 MPH. I've used other shields that were
so noisy and so rough on the head that I felt like I had been in a fight with
someone after driving only a few miles on the highway. (These kinds are things
are usually felt above 50 or 55 MPH.)
But if noise is the only thing you're dealing with, might I suggest a good
pair of earplugs? I bought these plugs this summer and love them. Good ear
plugs don't only limit noise, they lengthen your ability to go longer distances
by reducing wind fatigue.
Ride safe!

I recently installed a windshield and do like it in general but the
wind noise about helmet height is new. This is obviously because of
the windshield but can anyone explain why this happens. I can't feel
any difference in the wind I can just hear it. Thanks
