Hello.
What's y'all experience with adding a windshield in terms of top speed?
Some say that it slows down the bike, While others have reported that it added an extra 2-3mph
Is it worth getting one?
Cheers Mag.

I think it helps -- if nothing else, the wind can beat on the windscreen instead of my chest, so even if it doesn't make a difference in speed, it is more comfortable.
I tend to think that anything that evens out the air flow around us will decrease turbulence that might slow us down. (I also have leg shields...)

totally depends on the style of windscreen. I have a tall fly screen, it catches a lot of air. slows me down 3-4 mph, but can add 8-10 mph with a tailwind. some smaller more aerodynamic windscreens may very well decrease wind resistance.
