Windshields/Fairings

I'm tired cutting the wind with my face and scraping bugs off my shield and chest. Any suggestions on a good windshield or fairing for my '81 550 Maxim? I see a lot of these on ebay and so on.

Anybody have one of these and are they any good? Or maybe there is something better.

 

I have the Slipstream Spitfire on my bike. It works pretty well and is easy to remove. I might get a "winter" shield that includes the hand grip shields.

 

My XJ650 came with a similar one by Road Krome.

It is showing some stress cracking at the holes which should not be a problem with the National Cycle ones and their no hole attachment.

The ones you showed all seem to have a 2 point mount, like the Road Krome does. It can vibrate a lot at times.

On the JC Whitney Site the streetshield EX is very positively reviewed.

 

I need to get one for my 550 also, tired of catching bees in my shirt. 8O

 

Thanks for the responses, guys. And thanks, MiCarl, for the JC Whitney info.

Hmmmm..... I wonder which will stop that rock better? And if anyone ever comes at me with a shotgun, well the choice is clear!

 

I have the National Street Shield EX, model N2561 on the Seca (see pics in my gallery). I paid around $75 on eBay. The EX is a slightly thicker shield, with a 4 point mounting system, and comes off and on in under a minute. I find the size to be just big enough to be effective, yet not too big as to be obtrusive or really noticable. I had tried a Slipstream Spitfire, but found it too small for my liking.

 

I'll second the Street Shield EX.

The slightly larger shield makes a big difference at highway speeds.
