Winter windshield
It's that wonderful time of the year when the big windshield comes out. It is perfect for me, and provides a nice cell of calm air behind the screen. Something I noticed while putting it on that I hadn't noticed before.
If any of you have spent time at night riding behind an aftermarket windshield you may have noticed if the shield is mounted just a little in front of the headlight the light tends to travel up the plastic and the windshield gets a slight glow to it. Every windshield I've had, I've had to paint the lower edge of the windshield so this wouldn't happen. As I was putting the big Givi on I noticed this was done at the factory. Another reason to be impressed with the thought that goes behind Givi accessories.

Re: Winter windshield
I just installed a new Puig touring shield. Different profile than the CalSci I used the last couple years. Have been sick with this terrible head cold going around so haven't had a chance to try it out. From the reviews I read it does a better job with head buffeting.
