Cal Scientific Adjustable V85TT shield?
« on: February 10, 2026, 05:18:25 PM »
Cal Sci makes several sizes of shields, but the adjustable seems like it might make the most sense for me.  Does anybody here have experience with it?

I had one on my V85.  Ugly but effective.

I've got a the Cal Sci on my '23 Travel.  IMO, it knocked down the wind noise & buffeting that I was encountering with the OEM "tall" screen. It seems to me that some of us do not have an issue possibly because of personal physical height, head proximity to the screen, helmet syle, etc.  If you're at highway speeds and move around in the saddle you'll notice where the turbulance is and isn't, it doesn't seem like there is a large area of "quiet" air on that bike.  I also added aftermarket "wings" at the front turnsignal area to aid in deflecting air away from the rider. Maybe the '25's are better since MG changed some of the front end aerodynamics (tank, wings, etc.).  Oh well, good luck.

After fiddling with numerous shields on several bike with very limited results this one looks like it would be very effective. A lot of disruptive air comes around the sides where this one seems to have addressed quite well.

Just got the CalSci shield, seems well made, but it won't fit the gen two v85.  The mounting for the shield is different than the 19-23 years.  So back it goes, bummer, as I really liked the added adjustability.   They are looking for someone with a 24 or newer v85  (don't think we got any 24s in the US)  to use for a base to make a shield for the new fairing.   If your interested in helping them out, give Mark a call, you don't have to bring the bike to MO, he can explain how it works if your up for it.
