V85 Windshield mod
« on: March 15, 2024, 04:36:02 PM »

It amazes me how much more clean air and less buffeting thus far with this modification.
Who’d a thunk it...... :popcorn:

I added a cheap Amazon clamp on deflector to the touring screen and can adjust it to where I can ride with my visor open if I want to.

I’ll try to post a pic.
I basically just cut the small OEM shield even and added the 3” hole.
