I should have read more carefully (windshield again)

Post by TWI »

That is what I should have done -- read all your informative posts more clearly, then thought more. Oh, well, one occasionally learns.

I bought the BMW touring bracket and the Cee Bailey 20" shield. The windshield is too short for me. I should have bought the Parabellum replacement shield in the 24" version.

Anybody got the Parabellum 24" replacement shield looking to try a shorter one? Like a 20" Cee Bailey?


BTW, I've already kicked myself.

How Tall?

Post by maduko »

Curious- how tall are you?

I like the looks of the Cee Bailey screens but have wondered which one would be the correct height.

I am 6'1" with a 34" inseam. The P24 is kinda working. When sitting normally behind it, or shifted forward a little, there is some mild buffeting. However, the total noise is less than in a clear stream of air. It will work in the cold season.

this past weekend, i was able to try out the cb 18" screen. i have the touring bracket too. i am 5'9" on a standard seat. i get buffeting no matter where i am on the seat. if i move up a bit, it is clear. down a bit it it clear. i think i can do 16 or 20.

i am going to find a 16 since i don't like the way 20 looks on the bike. if anyone doesn't want their cb 16, please let me know.

thanks
