Here's my tip: Go around the very edge of the perspex with a black permanent marker. This will stop the edge of the deflector lighting up and creating a visual distraction.

5:34... "Your done". My what's done? I have one of those deflectors (less than £14 from China including shipping etc) on my Honda Crosstourer and you're right, it works like the Laminar Lip I used to have on my ST1100. Not pretty, but effective!

@TEDtheKEY 11 ай бұрын

Excellent! I'll be looking at getting one for motorway driving. Did the one you bought leave maths on your existing screen. I've seen them on ebay for a little as £14. Would you get a smoked one? That would go with my existing one, which was after market for my Suzuki V Strom 650 which doesn't eliminate all the buffeting.

@tojj29 4 ай бұрын

Ali Express.....£5.17 + tax/delivery. Just under £9 delivered, arrived in 5 days. Exact same one as you fitted here. Not tried mine yet due to the weather, but hopefully it's better for me too on my Versys 1000. Cheers

@philiprobinson2011 2 жыл бұрын

Tried a cheaper Chinese version of this on my bike. With regard to the added wind protection I did get similar results to you, but I also experienced a couple of negatives. Firstly, I found that the extra weight of the deflector caused the windscreen to flex and shake excessively. This may have been down to the shape of my screen, which is effectively a flat piece of plastic. A more shaped screen may offer more rigidity and so may not be a problem. Longer term, I was concerned that all the flexing could lead to screen damage and possible failure at the screen mounting points. Secondly, even with all of the rubber mounts, it still left permanent marks on the windscreen. So overall, a good product if your existing windscreen is sufficiently rigid enough to support the extra weight and you don't mind that it will leave small marks where it attaches. For me unfortunately, it has been removed and is now gathering dust in the garage.

@ginoasci2876 7 ай бұрын

What’s your point? Buy a quality product or these don’t work unless the original windscreen is of good quality and shaped ? Did it offer any resistance with helmet buffeting? Cars to clarify?

@philiprobinson2011 7 ай бұрын

Certainly, I currently have an MRA screen which has a pre fitted wind deflector and it is excellent. It is easily adjustable and stable at all speeds and more importantly it eliminates wind buffeting completely. Previously I had tried a cheap Chinese after market deflector fitted to the stock screen on my Honda NC750. Possibly because the stock screen was not very rigid the deflector caused the screen to shake around a lot. Secondly, when I removed the deflector it had marked the stock screen where it was attached. So in conclusion, deflectors are excellent if the screen you are attaching it to is strong enough and you don't mind a couple of little marks where you attach it. Secondly if you can get a screen, like the MRA ones with the deflector pre fitted, I am sure it will be perfect in reducing buffeting. @@ginoasci2876

@@philiprobinson2011it sounds like you have far too limited data to make any comments about screen and extensions in general. But it's nice to know your experience with the cheap aftermarket anyway. Maybe the conclusion should be directed solely towards the cheap aftermarket extension?

@philiprobinson2011 7 ай бұрын

I really don’t see how I could have too limited data to make any comments. Surely my experience is a relevant as anyone else’s and whilst limited it might be of use to someone out there. My comment was about my experience fitting a cheap aftermarket deflector to a stock screen and part of the problem was that the stock screen was not rigid enough to tolerate the additional forces being generated by the deflector and not specifically about the deflector itself, which actually worked very well and was only let down in that the clamping screws used to attach it which left marks on the stock screen. @@jackle842000

I don't like these. Tried it. I don't like having those bulky fasteners taking up precious real estate in my forward vision; it's a chronic subtraction from my overall safety, if you ask me. If they could make this with fasteners that clip the vertical sides of the windscreen, I might reconsider this item.
