Last winter I installed a windshield from Parts for Chinese Scooters. It ran about 50 bucks or so. What an improvement. Stops that cold wind that goes right through your clothes. Less water in rain. I was going to remove it for summer, but it deflects airflow upward and you can sit up higher to get the air blast if you want, so I left it on year-round. I hit higher speeds and thought it was because my engine is just breaking in, but after reading these posts it may be due to the windshield cleaning up the airflow and reducing drag.

I have  one on my 150cc Tao Tao, in Florida. Where we stay in the winter is surrounded by orange groves. When thy bring in the bees, to pollinate the oranges, trust me, you want to have a windshield. It's popular opinion in the area that the bees always hit you stinger first. |

It's popular opinion in the area that the bees always hit you stinger first. Bees don't get through my riding gear but they are a pain to clean off while the Love Bugs are far worse. You get hit by a swarm of those windshield or not and you will want to strip naked in the driveway when you get home and toss everything you were wearing in the trash. The you will need to shower for an hour to scrub off everything that soaked through after which you will still need to spend a few quality hours cleaning them off the bike. Waxing the entire bike with a Teflon wax including the windshield helps make the next cleanup much easier. |
