Having just bought my first Buell, I'm unused to having so much wind blast.....I've seen these tall screens, does anybody have one they'd like to get rid off?

I've also been advised that the standard exhaust should be replaced as soon as I can manage it! Is this the general consensus??

What bikes have you come off? Most people don't have any problem below 100, maybe just a tweak to your riding stance will sort it, slide a bit further back in the seat, spread your arms to drop your shoulders, ride it more like a mountain bike / moto-x / supermoto.

Tall screens might reduce wind blast but they will increase buffeting. I prefer wind blast.

Zero gravity extended screen is what you want.

Thanks guys, I'll soon find out if I want to pursue the screen! I've only ridden a faired bike before (leaning over the tank) I can escape from the wind so as yet I'm still unused to the full force of the wind. I'll get used to it I'm sure!

Hi Baroness,

Please accept my apologies for not realizing who was visiting my humble abode last week when you came to look at the Buell !

Hope all has gone well with your trip to Germany and the lack of a screen hasn't spoilt it.

I assume you are the re-incarnation of said lady ?

I have an unused screen that came off a 2007 model Ully. I don't know whether this is of any use to you. Think they tend to look a bit odd on the lightning.
