Has anyone put a Goldwing windscreen vent on their K bike?
« on: May 04, 2016, 06:30:00 AM »

Thinking of adapting a Goldwind windscreen vent to my K bike. Has anyone done this? I know the curvature may not be exactly the same but windscreens are pretty flexible. Searched but did not find much info. Thanks.

It's non-staining! The luminous version is good for low-light conditions.

I think the vents are more for relieving negative pressure behind the windshield, not so much for cooling. But which are you seeking to accomplish?

greetings wasserwolf...

how abouts some photos of what you gotts now... the reason i ask is because every rs motobrick i have ridden in its oem configuration has put the air on me about nipple level...

some with aftermarket stuff would put no air on me at all...

just wanna see what you gotts thats not letting air towards your face...

rodger that...

that is not a stock rs windscreen...

looks like a parabellum bolt on...

id get that thing off of there if you want air towards your face... can always put it back on for cold weather motobricking...

this is a stock rs windscreen...
