- April 09, 2012, 22:57:46 PMWhen sitting on the bike you be able to see over the windshield by a couple of inches. the wind acts a little different between the solo and 2-up seats. I had a lot of turbulence when I had trim around the edge of the windshield. Took the edging off, a whole better now. I seen some difters with the shield trimmed down, Of I do ride a 1500, but I don't think that would matter.

- April 09, 2012, 22:42:29 PMon my 800 the air turbulence just seems like a lot (from the windshield). It's a factory WS as far as I can tell. This is my first bike, so I don't really know what to expect, but the wind turbulence seems to batter my helmet (and my head, in it) around a lot. I raised the WS all the way up and it made it better (than most all the way down), but it's still bad at 60. If I lean down behind the WS, it's a lot better. I'm not a real tall guy (5'8), so I wouldn't think I'm "too tall" for the WS, but sitting in an upright position, I'm looking just barely above the WS.
I have a buddy who only rides with out a WS (Honda Shadow ACE), b/c he said he couldn't stand his wind turbulence. Do I have to just live with it or can further adjustment make it more tolerable? It seems like taking it off would just make a lot more wind turbulence but maybe I should think about taking it off? I hate to lose my small WS bag on the bracket, as well.
Any advice would be appreciated.
