Hi there,

I just want to pass on my compliments to your new "perfect strom" windscreen. I prefer a bike setup that cuts through the wind with no noise or turbulence, and your product does this flawlessly. There is virtually no wind anywhere around the face or helmet, but there is plenty of cooling air coming up and around making for an amazing balance. The light tint looks great yet doesn't obscure vision even at night.

I highly recommend that anyone who loves the 'strom except for the annoying wind from the stock screen consider the easy swap out with the cee bailey.

Sincerely,

Robert Nathanson

Hello, I recently purchased a windscreen for my new Suzuki V-strom 1000. I went with the 21.5 clear model. I am very impressed with the performance of this windscreen. Visibility is excellent and it cuts thru the air like a knife!   The wind noise is substantially less, Now I can ride without wearing earplugs. Thanks for manufacturing such a great product.

Sincerely,

Greg McClain

I have a 2005 Suzuki V-Strom 650. I love the bike but could not get the stock windshield in a decent position. No matter where I put it, I had helmet buffeting that would bother me over a few hours. I am 6'0" and wear a Shoei X-11 helmet. I ordered and installed your 23.5" clear screen at the lowest position. It is perfect. I can see over it while riding and the noise reduced substantially. I can hear the engine now and the buffeting is gone completely. I was skeptical that a new windscreen would help me but it made a large improvement. Its like a different bike now.

I am going to order one of your windshield for me ST1300 now. The stock one isn't bad, especially beings it moves electrically, but the V-Strom was such an improvement I look forward to the Cee Bailey screen on my ST.

The screen arrived in excellent shape, installed very easy and most
important works great. No more wind noise, it 's so quiet it is eerie.
There is no comparison to the stock screen or even when I cut down the
stock screen to reduce wind noise. It makes the bike much more enjoyable
to ride. Of course the protection from the cold weather is another plus. I
think I will leave it on all the time even for short rides and in hot
weather.

On your website you show pictures of the tall screen mounted on the
fairing. It does look tall and kind of unnatural especially compared to
the look of the stock screen . However, when you see it on the bike in
relation to the whole bike, it looks much better.

Thanks Scott Simpson

I set out on a 320 mile ride Friday morning and was amazed at the
total lack of helmet buffeting and dramatic reduction in wind noise.
I'm 6' and don't mind looking thru the shield, by the way. I was
cruising with a quartering head wind at 80-90 with no discomfort.

I guess I will now have to add a mount for my Valentine V1 --
speeding wasn't a problem before, because with the either the stock
sheild or with the higher Suzuki shield I couldn't stand to go faster
than 60.

I am 5'11" and I initially was thinking of cutting it down. I found
that at my height I would have to cut it down considerably in order
to see over the shield. I would have to cut off about 4" and the
shield would still look about the same. I would then have a tall
shield which didn't work as well, and looked about the same. I
would then be getting helmet buffeting - not good. I decided to
leave it as is.

This shield is optically the best shield I have ever used. It is
much clearer plastic than the stock shield and it has virtually no
distortion. I have gone ahead and ordered ears from laminarlip. I
am no longer hung up on what it looks like. Function has won out
over form.

In the summer months, I will put on the stock shield. In the
winter - the Cee Bailey with the ears. I really don't care what it
looks like.(and to tell you the truth the looks of the tall CB is
growing on me.) The biggest minuses are that my Suzuki bike cover
probably doesn't fit any more and I will have to adjust my mirrors
to clear the screen. In return, I get a bike that I prefer over a
Gold Wing on the highway. (I know - I have ridden them). It makes
the Vstrom into a very capable touring bike.

In the winter, without the wind blast, I can ride without heavy or
heated clothing. It adds capabilities to the bike which it didn't
have previously.

It fit perfectly, and is optically excellent. I am 5'9" with a 32"
inseam. The top of the windshield was exactly in my line of sight.
If I slouch, I look through the shield. If I sit very upright, I look
over it. I usually slouch alittle. I will probably belt sand
about .75" off the top. I have an overnighter planned this weekend to
check it out and see if that is what I really want to do.

My initial ride shows that wind management is pretty good, for me.
Buffeting was minimal and noise was almost nonexistant, with
earplugs. It's funny how when you knock the wind off your upper body,
you really notice it on your legs and forearms. Not that there's
anything wrong with that, it's just became very noticeable.

More later, but for now, I'd say it's a keeper!

Installation: Pretty much a breeze (no pun intended). Remove the
two 3mm screws on the front cowling with an Allen tool, slide the
stock windshield out and then slide the CB in. I needed to put a
soapy solution on the edges of the CB to get it to slide in just
right. As indicated in other posts, there are rubber grommets around
the screw holes that you should be aware as you slide the CB into
place. If this whole operations takes you more than 15 minutes, you
should not be driving a motorcycle. The CB packing material is great
for protecting the stock Suzy windshield.

I am 6'0' with a 32" inseam and wear a Shoei RF800 full-face helmet.

Before: With the stock short Suzy windshield, I had lots of loud wind
noise and turbulence at speeds over 45MPH (indicated). I can only
hear the engine when tucked down behind the screen (crouch rocket
position). Sitting up, my helmet really catches the wind when doing
head checks before lane changes. There is lots of turbulence around
my arms.

After: Sitting straight up with chin up, I can see over the CB
easily. In a more relaxed bent back position; I am looking through
the CB. No more noise around my head. I really have to get my butt
up off the seat a few inches get in a loud wind flow. At 75MPH
(indicated), I can still hear the purr of the engine. Behind the
screen is pretty calm and serene though there is some pleasant
movement of air. There is still about the same amount of turbulence
on my arms with the CB. I will consider the Laminar Lips to fix
this.

Conclusion: I like the CB. I think I picked the right size for my
height and driving needs. The +12 would have been too tall for me
to see over and the +8 not tall enough.
The CB does not really do anything for the looks of the bike. Small
children still run away and cry when they see my ugly bike (or is it
me?). If you are going for looks, nix on the CB. On the other
hand, it works.

I'm 6'1" and long trunked. I've tried the Laminar LIP and EARs with
the stock screen and with the Suzuki tall screen. The Laminar
products helped a lot with both screens but the screens weren't tall
enough.

BTW, those who say that noise and buffeting are part of the MC
experience and if you don't like it you should drive a cage either
haven't experienced these qualities or haven't got their bikes
sorted out yet.

I have put many miles on sport bikes with my head and upper
shoulders in the wind stream. With smooth air flow there is no
buffeting and the noise is a not unpleasent form of speed indicator.
For many (most?) of us the Vstrom in stock configuration does not
supply that smooth air flow.
