Title: Windshield Report - Handling and MPG
Post by S40NewYork on 09/24/07 at 18:08:32

Memphis Fats 17" is GREAT. Rode for the first time yesterday with it, woulda been sooner, but I dropped an 8ft long 14 Inch diameter tree on my foot cutting firewood so had to wait a week to try it out.

1. Major reduction in wind banging against me. Much more comfortable ride IMHO.

2. It was really windy here yesterday and there was no noticable effect on handling. Didn't feel like I was trying to steer a sailboat.

2. 56.6 MPG! Admit I did not check mileage without the shield but I'm guessin' it hasn't effected it much with that number. Will have to do a more sceintific check someday.

Bottom line...I really like the windshield!

I have the Suzuki windscreen on my S40 and like it. It could be a bit larger, but it does fine keeping the bugs and rain off my chest. I still get some rain on my faceshield, but Rain-X takes care of that. Running the Interstates at 65-70, I still get around 63MPG (at last count) with no handling problems at all. :) 8)
