I don't know, but maybe why the only Madstad shown for $99, was it may work for any universal bike. I think Twisted Throttle is a good vendor. So for a possible $275, ultimate flexible windshield faring (with MRA V-Flow beak and wing), it might be real reasonable. And yes, drop another $110 for the lower acrylic shields. But it is getting closer to feasible. I always look to the best, and then trim it down to feasible.
Tons of air flow and face shield rattle are an expressway riders worst enemy. And the gas mileage should also improve ($$). I have just now seen the ultimate control of adverse wind flow, and I am pretty excited: the guess work can be dialed in with the proposed combo above. Its better than buying a $15,000 used BMW that I think is inferior to the 93 Nighthawk 750 in many ways that I value motorcycle riding. I was excited to find the Nighthawk 750, and now I am stoked at the possibilities. My bike is already a head-tuner now, but for less than $400, it could be a new model morphed in functionality. Or maybe not (?) You are probably right with the safest alternative (Plexifairing 3) for sure. Its all a reward for risk gamble. But I've been riding a long time with many different fairings and shields on many bikes. And without a doubt, that looks like the best combo I've seen (it is a new concept though) even better than the electric BMW wing. But for $400, or $200-$300 more than replacing the durable shield I have now, it is a moderately safe gamble versus buying an expensive bike that is inferior to my commuter bike in many ways that I value. So no, maybe it is not worth the added cost if all you have is $200 (and I don't have that now!). But compared to equivalent air flow systems, how do you value the best system possible, your lifetime hearing, or tons of wind fatigue? I can definitely see your point in a proven cost efficient system though. Hands down, cost wise and hassle wise, you are right! :-) On Thursday, July 17, 2014 7:12:38 AM UTC-7, Phil wrote: > > > http://www.twistedthrottle.com/madstad-adjustable-windshield-mount-suzuki-dl650-04-11-dl1000-v-strom-04 > > see top youtube videos at bottom (I like it!) > > http://www.madstad.com/s.nl/sc.7/category.888/.f > > On left, look for universal bracket and windshield > > > http://myroadglide.com/a-review-of-the-madstad-adjustable-windshield-system/ > > A good review of window system aerodynamics (very nice, a couple of > diagrams of before and after.) > > Cost, about $170 for shield and brackets each, $340 estimate :-( > > > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
