I have a 2019 N1K. When the windshield is in the most upright position, I would still like a little more wind protection, especially now in the winter. Any aftermarket windshields out there that would protect more?

You can either get an extension or higher shield. I've used both with good effect. The Vstream Tour is much taller than stock but I still look over the top. You just missed one of these for sale on this forum. Looks like it sold today.

These inexpensive wings seem to work pretty well and have a lot of adjustibility. I use it with my Puig (summer) sheild and with the Vstream Tour in our cold rainy winters.

I agree with kemors about the Vstream sport touring shield. I changed a Puig for the Vstream and for me it made a big difference.

I have a Puig in the classifieds, works well and looks much better IMHO.

Would this be it? https://www.amazon.com/National-Cyc...1000+vstream+windshield&qid=1606058928&sr=8-1

The amazon National Vstream is the Vstream sport. It's shorter than the tour. Here's a pic of the differences. The actual dimensions are on the National site. Personally, I like the Puig for summer riding and the National for winter riding. In the summer, the Vstream Tour doesn't give me enough air flow and I too hot. Given it takes 2-3 minutes to change the windshield I have no problem swapping shields.

I would get this instead:

Puig Clip On Visor

I have one of these on my Suzuki DR650 and I can vouch for how well it works even on a bike that does NOT have a windshield! Because of the small size, and its position that is couple of inches away from the primary surface that is the leading edge of windblast (your OEM windscreen), it uses the natural tendency of air to follow a surface to redirect air away from the rider. I put one of these on my windscreen-less DR650 and am amazed how much wind protection it generates for such a small device. The best part is, you can remove it during summer when it gets hot and you want more air flow. You may not want to remove it at all. Put one of these on your Ninja, put the OEM windscreen in the highest position, and I'll bet you will have NO wind hitting your helmet at all and will be in a pocket of calm air. I've seen YouTube videos of owners testing theirs.

though I have been told VStreams melt your dash!

 

[kenors]

I had a little spot on the dash of my 2011 from parking facing away from the sun just right. The backside curvature focused the sun just right... Easy to avoid if you pay attention to how you park or put your gloves on the dash or lower the windshield.

Interesting thread. The question I would pose is if you have the Puig windscreen 20471F

and wanted more wind protection would the vstream 20122 provide better protection or would you need to go up to the pope hat 20123.

It seems the puig clip-on is around 114.00 compared to the 177.00 or 183.00 med and pope hat windscreens. I would assume the 20121 would be worst then the puig race 20471F screen for wind protection.

I decided to tryout the CalSci tinted windshield after someone mentioned it on the site. Looking forward to testing out The taller shield then my puig racing model.

I have both the Puig and Vstream N20123 (tallest) screens. The Vstream goes on in our cold and wet winters, the Puig in the summer. The taller Vstream provides significantly better protection than the Puig. So much so that it's too hot to sit behind in the summer heat, hence the Puig goes on.

As for the little clip on visor suggestion, I have one of those too and use it on both the Puig and Vstream. It gives me that last little bit of adjustability I like. I wouldn't get the Puig version, though. Knock-offs are available on eBay for <$20. I've had both Puig and knock-off and they are pretty much identical in quality and function.

Hi Ken

Could you please post a link to a knock off you would recommend?

Thanks Jed

Which fake Puig did you like? I need a new one, in clear. I'm tired of not being able to see through my smoked screen.

Or, I'm getting old and my eyes suck....I'm blaming the shield.

Received today....14 dollars and change....looks like decent quality. Can adjust it up and down ans also the tilt....ill take her for a ride tomorrow and see how it does. I like the looks with the stock acreen. Picture does not show this was before I adjusted it lower to close up the gap and tilted the deflector back. Lots of adjustment.

The down and dirty. Summer Puig is King. Winter in my opinion, avoid VStream melting of the display hazard and use either the Puig or jump to the Califonia Scientific for more protection.

Went for a ride today did about 35 miles with the stock screen and deflector. I need to do more testing but seems to be better than my puig on my 2016.
The way I had it set was getting wind on top part of my helmet, less around my face shield. Very little neck down. I am 5' 10" for reference.

With the puig on my 2016. Lowest position was clean air to my chest and helmet. Middle position some buffeting. Highest did not like at all e en more buffeting. More testing on Sunday. Next 60 degree day.
