K_VANDY Posted May 31, 2020 Author #3 Posted May 31, 2020 Well no new Eluder today for me today. Not sure it's the bike for me. The wind protection just wasn't there. I'm use to the tall screen on my Tour Deluxe and I was getting some serious wind noise and then head shake over 60. Might go to a different dealer and check out another one with the taller screen on it. Anyone know of other screen options?

They have a what Yamaha calls a med height screen that dealer is putting on and I am going to go back later this week to try it out. Also I saw a extension for motorcycle windshield that looked promisinghttps://www.amazon.com/MRA-X-Creen-Variable-Windscreen-Spoiler/dp/B0068NUI8C.

I received My Bagger shield from Great adVenture a couple days back and put it on. I like it, The shorty that was on it had the wind straight in my face. The Bagger is an inch taller and total 4 inches wider over all. With the second section mounted, its full fairing height, i loves it!! You gonna Buy That Bike!!

I got Mine from Our Member Great adVENTURE. His prices with shipping is much better and I love the way it mounted up nice N clean heres the link to Amazon so you can see it even though its harley mounted I think he has one more? https://www.amazon.com/Harley-Davidson-FLHT-Adjustable-BaggerShield/dp/B007P6D5A4/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=baggershield&qid=1591050822&s=automotive&sr=1-1 His is much cheaper.
K_VANDY Posted June 2, 2020 Author #8 Posted June 2, 2020 Thanks for the info guys I'll be sure to check that out once/if I get the bike lol. We'll see how things go later this week. Have an appointment on Thursday to take another look and ride with the different windshield. May push it back to Saturday so I have more time to play with the bike.
