Part # 8110025
Wind Deflector, Clear

I am 6ft and ride a 2006 BMW R1200GSA. I wear a Schuberth C3 for road trips and a Shark Evoline convertible off road. The deflector and mount are made of high quality materials, well packaged, and with good instructions. Note: half the instructions are found underneath a cardboard base in the packaging. I only found them when I was breaking the box down for recycling, after I had already done the installation from downloaded instructions. Without the deflector, the airflow hits around the base of the helmet, causing plenty of noise from turbulence. In the summer, I take the screen off completely and it is quiet because the helmet is in smooth air. In the winter, I like the deflector for road trips because it raises the screen and reduces the turbulent flow around the helmet. I used to put the screen on its highest adjustment, but now I put it in the mid setting with the deflector on. This has had the added benefit of improving the aerodynamics in cross winds, because I am a little closer to the screen, so I remain protected a little more in cross-winds. In calm conditions, I ride in a bubble of still air in quiet comfort. It's startlingly effective, especially given the diminutive dimensions of the deflector. Off road I take the deflector off, for two reasons: first, I want a clearer view of the track in front of the bike. Second, the additional weight of the screen with the deflector on causes it to move just a little too alarmingly when I hit rocks and holes in the track. I am worried about over-stressing the screen mountings off-road with the deflector in place. I leave the metal mounting in place though because it is held on one side by double-sticky-sided foam tape which would be impractical to replace every time I remove or replace the mount. One thing that could improve it further: it is nice to be able to grab the deflector and move it up and down. For example, riding through town it is nice to lower it and have more air in my face, but on the open road, raise it again. If I tighten the adjust screw just right, I can do this for a while, but inevitably the screw loosens up and the deflector flops around until I tighten it just right again, even if I use thread lock to stop the screws vibrating loose. If it could be engineered so we could set a tightness that doesn't change with vibration, it would be even better. One more thing: when I placed my order, the website claimed the item to be in stock, delivered in 2-3 working days. This turned out to be false. After 5 days, I emailed the company, and they casually told me they were awaiting stock from Germany, as if this is completely normal - and I expect it is. It took 2 weeks. The company has a lackadaisical attitude to the accuracy of the delivery time, so be prepared for a frustrating wait, made worse by unapologetic customer service.

Nicely machined aluminum part. The screen itself is also appears to be made of the high quality material. One improvement I would like to see - is for spoiler to go lower, be able to use it in a manner similar to the laminar lip. Adding height to improve airflow is not always best option, I do not like to have anything in my direct field of view. So if your screen already pretty tall, that may be a problem. Another notice on shipping charges from Wunderlich - seems to high for such a small package. It is also available with free shipping through Amazon.

Previous owner was a midget and cut several inches off the windshield. This apparatus solved the problem, although it takes a little getting used to. Better than replacing the whole windscreen.

If you\'re considering a new windscreen, try this first. It might be just the thing to rid yourself of some troublesome buffeting. Easy to install and remove. Give it a shot. 4 stars for instructions in only in German.

A high quality, well built product that works as advertised. It takes a while to find the adjustment that works, but once you do wind noise and buffeting are greatly reduced. It took me a half hour to figure out the instructions, and then three minutes to install it.

Bike is 98 R1100GS with Aeroflow screen. The kind of riding I do demands driving on slab to get to a nice off-road spot to tool around. I have long been irritated by the buffeting that occurs at speeds higher than 75 MPH on the highway - so bad that it caused blurred vision and, eventually, a killer headache. I just installed this deflector and went for a 700 mile loop in the Texas Hill Country and was very pleased with my purchase. Buffeting has been minimized to an almost negligible state. While offload, it is easy to just remove the deflector so there is no line-of-sight interferference. My only word of caution is that you should take care to secure the set screws after removing the deflector because they can walk themselves out and be lost in the dirt - totally my fault and in no way a reflection on the product.

The wind deflector performs its task well by allowing the user to adjust its position to conform to just about any angle a person can imagine so you can experiment and get the exact result you desire. I would have rated this deflector 5 stars BUT the directions left a lot to be desired - there were vinyl pads and metal spacers which a person has to attempt install which I found the directions completely failed to explain. Obviously this is a German product but it is being sold internationally and the directions need to be clear and intelligible in other languages beside Deutch. My wife speaks some German but even she had trouble interpreting the instructions and I was left to guess from the few pictures where to place the vinyl pads versus the metal pads. For such a quality product someone needs to take the time to creat instructions which at least show some pictures that can be understood without having to understand broken English that makes no sense. How hard could this be? I would have taken a few pictures and show where the various pieces need to be installed if this was my product then no explanation would be needed. As I said, this is a great product but I am not sure I got it installed correctly - even though it appears to be working the mounting screw seem to not grip the vinyl and metal spacers and I have to tighten the screws every so often.
