Atlanta to Nashville - Page 6

I have 2 windscreens for the Vulcan now.

I have to cut one down very low for summer, and build some lowers for the taller screen.
Neither one will work without lowers, wind buffering is bad.

I have 3 trips planned this year that will average over 600 miles for the week-end, so a screen is a must for me.

I have a National Cycle STREET SHIELD EX on my 454.I have no problems with wind buffering.The only thing I don't like about it is the height.I have to look through it,rather than over it.Maybe that's why I don't get any buffering?

:cool:

Hi JWR,

Just before this pissing match goes too far

I think you're missing the point slightly. While your 500cc will be great for 175 mile rides at 75 MPH, waya has a GZ250. This is the same bike that I've ridden for the past 4 years. It's a great town/backroads bike, but I doubt that either he or I would even attempt a 175 mile ride at 75 MPH on the geezer. That's why I (and several other people) have said that he MAY not need it.

Let's call it quits. :2tup:

Yeah, whatever:

The first thing you ought to do when you find yourself in a hole is quit digging. . . .

Your Mileage May Vary...(what works for me may not work for you).

O.K. YOU carry on the pissing match. I quit.
