I'd like to hear your opinions on the Mustang seat with backrest and the Saddlemen SDC with backrest.

The reviews are conflicting on comfort and rider position. It might just be seats being subjective by nature, but I like to hear from riders.
Ditch the mid controls, fit forwards or floorboards. That's a huge improvement.

Any recommendations on windshields? I have a 10" (measured from the inner fairing to the lip) tall one on now and get some middle of face shield blast. Wondering if either a recurve or taller shield is the hot ticket. 5'8" but I talk mess like I'm 6'5"

Clearview XL worked for me - put the wind at a small patch on top of my helmet. I am 5'11

Today I will also be putting on the kraus trex plates so I can lean back while riding.

I have literally just bolted on a Puig Tall touring screen- I'll report back on the ride soon. I'm 5'10", on a Sundowner seat, normal dimensions. Wear all sorts of helmets. Today I'm in an open face.

Initial thoughts- very well made screen, fits good but the grommets are a pain to swap over! I'll get some spare ones.

On the road it definitely pushes more air up and away from the rider. But it's clean air, like the stock screen there is no buffetting but there is some wind roar, but massively reduced over stock. It also knocks wind sideways so it doesn't collapse on the passenger. I can tell already my wife won't be beat up.

I've used some other brands with a lip on the edge and theres a reason that oem screens don't have one- it introduces turbulence and therefore noise, even if it throws the wind higher.

in the end its a great screen, well designed and thought out.

Points to note- if you're running tall risers, or pullback plates you'll be more upright and your head will sit further away from the bubble and therefore youll get more turbulence and air collapsing. No screen will fix this.
