Did my first bit of 'research' with the new screen. Wind flow is slightly higher than previous, BUT ... it is deflected much better ...IMO ... around you.
I am 5' 11" 200lbs and an aggressive rider, but error on the conservative side.
Old screen -- wind hit me mid chest and thumped good at highway speeds.
New screen -- wind hits me upper chest, throat, but is much softer at same speeds.
So I thought ...hummmmm... where did the wind go? Using my hands at the screen there appeaers to be much more flow around the screen. Then back to gettin it and I do feel a little more on the shoulders, but it is much easier to duck the wind. Cloudy day and I can see through the dark smoke ok, but I ride mostly with a clear mask on my helmet. Dark mask and dark smoke screen may be tough on all but sunny days.
Summary:
I picked this up for the looks and I got what I wanted. I feel a much improved ride from the deflection of the wind around me (perceived?). I am very happy with this $70 range mod.
