Yes sir, I got the tall one. Two inches shorter than the Yamaha touring. We shall see if their claim to put clean air over the helmet holds true. Every bike/rider equation is different. I’m happy with the touring, but it’ll be fun to try something brand new.

So, what's the verdict on the new Aeroflow screen?

It’s good up to about 85mph, really well designed. I think it’d be good at any speed with stock bars. But I run helis, and I puts the top of my helmet above the pocket of this shield. I’ve adapted a little. A little more forward lean, screen slightly below the all-the-way-up position. It whomped me pretty bad at speed at first, but I think I’ve subconsciously adapted a little, found a sweet spot for higher speeds. It was always great below the speed limit.

I like it. From about eyebrows down, the cockpit is quiet like a Cee Bailey. I’d prefer a slightly taller one for distance.

Rumor has it Aeroflow is about to test a prototype that is slightly taller, to accommodate the veritable plethora of fjr riders that have risers of some sort.

Depending upon schedules and initial impressions, there may even be a prototype in the Peking lot at EOM. That’s what I heard, anyway.
