Re: R11RS Windshield

[Karl Johnson <karljohnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't have any experience with the Dolphin windscreen, but I thought  
I remembered seeing an ad for it. I went to Google and put in "dolphin  
r1100rs." Unfortunately, one of the colors for the RS was Dolphin blue,  
so I got too many hits.

Putting "windscreen" in didn't help much because it seems like there  
were many dophin blue RS's out there with windscreens. I went to the  
Google "advanced search" page and put "blue" in the "without the words"  
field.

That did it. I got one hit. Here's the website...

They use frames, so it's hard to point you to the page in context, but  
here is the individual frame with pictures and description of the  
Dolphin for an RS...

I've had good luck with a Wudo windscreen. The screen isn't tall enough  
to route the air over my helmet (I'm 6' and have the seat up all the  
way), but I can set it so the air is above my chin, eliminating most  
buffeting.

My Wudo came from Cascade BMW, but their web page doesn't seem to be  
there. I found the screen over at...
http://www.wudo.com

It's another site with frames. Here's the individual page with the  
screen...
http://www.wudo.com/store/index.cfm? 
action=cat.prodInfo&productID=1022&categoryID=27

While looking for that one, I found this page where someone is testing  
windscreens for his RS...
http://grumpy-c-bear.org/Bike/R11RSWindScreens/

He tried chopping down the original and also tried an AeroFlow and  
Wudo. As he says, the Wudo is a keeper.

Take care.
