New FJ-09 in the Family

I'm always surprised that the bike makers seem incapable of making a decent windscreen. The screen on my Tiger 1050 was awful causing annoying buffeting at highway speeds. Least it keeps the aftermarket in the black.

This amazes me too, Redbirds. Can't they just test a screen and make it work for more riders? The new Yamaha Tmax has a screen that is lower in the middle (DUH) to not spill noisy compressed air into the rider's helmet. I took the screen off a rented Harley Fatboy one year. Useless buffeting.

My son-in-law's custom DIY windshield...which is essentially no longer a windshield.

In general I've never been a huge fan of windshields but I have to admit the stock one on my Ulysses is pretty good, I don't get any buffeting at all.
