Wind Deflector, Clear
The biggest issue with many original windshields is that the airflow break-away edge can not be individually defined, and the resulting turbulence. We carefully studied and then optimized and noticeably improved the SAENG airflow principles with this part. (See further below)
Suggestion: If you are otherwise pleased with the height, width and proportions of your existing windshield, but nonetheless are bothered by annoying turbulence, then this adjustable spoiler may be just the answer.
Facts:
- Adjustable wind spoiler. (Angle, height and distance from the rider)
- Optimal relief for the helmet and upper body
- Eliminates turbulences and corrects oncoming airflow.
- Easy to adjust
- Quick and easy installation / removal.
- Sturdy mounting system
- Weight optimized, machined holding mechanism
- Anodized Dural aluminum
- Shatterproof Lexan shield
- Dimensions of the deflector: 9" wide and at the maximum, 3" tall
The American company SAENG is a pioneer in windshield extensions and the function principles have by now been adopted by many companies world-wide. We began experimenting and conducting practical testing with the SAENG windshield extensions over 10 years ago. Unfortunately, the product did not then meet the German demands of effectiveness, high-speed stability and neutral handling. Now we have readdressed this concept and developed a part that provides stability far beyond what is actually required. Additionally, this part offers new dimensions of adjustability and features an aerodynamically optimized and optically dynamic screen that provides a very noticeable relief from turbulence and wind pressure.
This universal attachment system will allow fitment to virtually and motorcycle windshield. The quality of design and workmanship is truly impressive!
Should you need just the clear deflector as a replacement for any reason, please see the link under the Related Products tab.
It is advisable to secure the fixing and adjustment screws with thread locking fluid to avoid loosening while riding. You'll also find that under the Related Products tab.
F800 GS Owners please note: If your bike is equipped with the original factory wind screen, this part will not fit your windshield properly due to the *V* shape at the top of the screen. Unless you have installed an aftermarket windscreen on your bike, the wind deflector is not recommended for the F800 GS.

I took a chance on this based on reviews. Not sure if my unit was bad, but the wind deflector warps and lenses the view through it, a major problem when its directly in line of sight. This created so much distraction and challenge judging distances I had to return after a fairly short time. Pros: Limited wind deflection Cons: Creates hazard: warps/lenses line of sight directly ahead, had to return for this reason. Must be locked into position, when it should have a tensioner clamp so screen can be raised or lowered and clamped in position for use as needed. Item was returned in as new condition, yet they refunded $110 on a $154 purchase. I can't recommend this based on current design. If a tensioning clamp and clear optics are introduced I might give it another try. However, if you buy it, don't expect to recover your investment if it is installed.
