I just took a shakedown trip on my new KRL with the aftermarket windscreen. Got buffeted so bad I contemplated tossing the thing, but it cost about 80 bucks. I'm offering it for sale at half price. Darryl Al Maurine wrote:

I find no shield the best. I mounted an old face shield on the bike instead of the stock shield and would ride and then cut down an inch and ride and so forth. No shield yielded the quietest ride. Alan Henderson A13 Iowa
