    Just wondering what type of windshield you (if any) have installed on your XJ650(J). I have been looking at Plexistar 3, which has the lowers or the Plexistar 2 which doesn't. Don't want to hurt the bike by putting to large a shield on it, or possibly cut down on the air for cooling.
    Thanks

    I've got a RoadKrome on mine. It is similar to Plexistar 2 but with a 2 point mount. The 2 point mount is not good. I am getting some stress cracking of the shield where the hardware attaches, also bottom of the thing tends to rattle against the clocks (although I think I finally got it adjusted to where that isn't an issue). My goal is to have something with a 4 point mount by spring.

    The one that I have does a good job of deflecting wind away from my body. On the cooler days though my legs tend to get cold, so a screen with lowers would be definitely nice on those days.

    Overall though I think I'l stay with one that doesn't have lowers.
