I have a cabinet full of Adventure Bike Windscreens as well. I think the old advice for windscreens is true. "Go very small or or go very tall, every thing in between is a compromise". Lol

The last few bikes I've had - Heritage, Valk, V-STROM, and 1200RT, I've put a large enough windscreen on to look through it vs over it. The screens are adjustable on the BMW and Suzuki to deal with rain and condensation. I would have to stop and wait it out on the Heritage and Valk. Worth it though for the calm, quiet air.

Default St passenger buffeting?

ST PASSENGER BUFFETING? Hi guys, I am seriously looking at an ST to replace my FLSB. I'm 5'10, wife isn't much shorter. We've had an Ultra before and she got terrible buffeting, regardless of screen, Sport Glide is amazing, even with a Road Warrior. How does the ST go two-up with the standard screen? Hope to do a pillion ride later in the week. But keen to hear experiences. Pls. Indicate yours and partner's height when discussing.

Ta!

Cool 2023 Low Rider ST ... floorboards?

Hey everyone,
I have just purchased a 2023 Low Rider ST .... and I need some floor boards. Has anyone swapped out the pegs to floor boards? If so do you have a parts list? I would greatly appreciate any feedback. This seems to be a hurdle to over come.

Check out the Thrashin Supply Co webpage for bolt on options for floorboards. Be sure you're happy with mid controls and don't need forward controls instead. Really depends on how short you are, and how short or long the rides that you go on are.

i just ordered the 10” from KW and it was $276.00 to my door , but I wanted to buy once and cry once

Saddlemen Solo. Went with brown stitching . Build quality of the seat is excellent. I was a little concerned as I heard these gel seats can be hard. Very happy with the comfort. $275

i recently sat on that very similar seat...surprised at how firm the gel seat was. it didnt feel right sitting still with legs down, but in riding position, it was perfect.

I went with the La Pera Tailwhip with their Chestnut stitching. I’m a big fan and the little flip up in the back is a huge difference according to my wife than the standard ramp down of the Step Up or Kickflip
