SuzukiSavage.com - Low profile windscreen

martinfilms34 Full Member Offline Teenagers ride savages too! Posts: 138 Orlando, Florida	Low profile windscreen 06/19/12 at 19:02:37 Im looking to buy a windscreen for my savage, seeing as I would like to use it more for highway commutes. Does anyone have any recommendations for a low profile windscreen that still protects me from the wind and objects of the road. I read that the slipstreamed spit fire is easy to remove and looks to be kind of low profile.

it keeps the wind off your chest and your helmet in it.
which is why I like it.
up until 80 or so and then you have to duck down a little.
of course if you're expecting to smoke behind it... fogettaboutit. Grin

I like mine it helps keep the bugs of my body, I like the way it looks over a full screen and little hunch goes a long way at highway speeds

Yep, every bike I've owned in the last 30 years has been windshielded, but this is what I meant... this is my bike with a standard Zuk Boulevard windshield. It was too small for me with the wind hitting me about face level (I'm 5' 9"). It has been replaced with Slip Streamer Hellfire, and now the envelope goes over my helmet with less buffeting and bugs in the teeth.

My new one was $14 (shipping) from an Arkansas distributor. Here is the one for sale... ummm, the pot belly you see in the reflection must be a distortion of the windshield curvature

Works like a charm at higher speeds where you need it, but still gives you the wind at city speeds. I've tired a Spitfire but found that my head was right in the buffet zone. (I'm six feet long.) no good for me. Ymmv.
