Motoparty Motorcycle Windshield Extension

Came with upgraded hardware to secure arms to mounts wich I think solved the issues with failure or weakness others have had .Ive found this a fantastic product works extremely well, tested at 110 mph and zero issues. Completly solid and has eliminated any helmet buffet at hiway speed while still maintaining a nice view over the top. I honestly feel this has made the front fairing more stable making bike more stable as well. The mounts are rock solid and I can not understand how this would ever just fall off. At this price it's a no Brainer for me . I bought the smaller version 11 inch, and has worked so well i just placed an order for the bigger one 14 inch from a different company. I prefer the clear version as well because when mounted it is in the lower line of sight. Something to concider especially if riding on rougher roads helps to see what directly in front of you.Update: the one from other company came today is not the same quality at all, returning .these wind screen are not all the same accross amazon as ive read from other reviews .I didnt realize motoparty sells a larger one aswell so I ordered one from them. will follow with Update..Update: larger deflector came and I am just as happy with the product if not more, suits my very large motorcycle better. See my review on the larger from this vendor . I'm going to try the large deflector with the non upgraded plastic hardware and see how it does. I followed the instructions about pushing in the 360 locks to secure after adjustment and I have a feeling it will hold up just fine. I will update if the fail and go back to the upgraded wingnuts....

Not bad for the price. I read some reviews of folks adding metal bolts/wing nuts to the bracket that attaches to your stock windshield. Mine came with them along with the regular plastic lever lock system. I opted to go with the plastic bits as it looked a little cleaner once mounted and felt secure enough in my garage. About 10 minutes into my highway ride at 70 mph the right side fell apart leaving the windshield swinging in the breeze on the left mount. I was able to pull over and throw it in my saddle bag. I went home and attached it with the metal bolts and tested it again with no issues.I ride a stock Versys 650 with stock windshield in the highest position. I’m 6’. I did notice a drastic difference in wind hitting my helmet. It seemed just tall enough to push the air over my helmet. I can also hear my engine, which is relatively quiet to begin with, with the windshield on which I couldn’t before.One thing I did find which I didn’t think about before was looking through it while riding. My line of sight was just over the stock windshield and free from obstruction. Now it’s looking through this tiny windshield which gives me a little bit of a tunnel vision effect. Just thought I’d mention it for anyone else that didn’t think about this and is more focused on cutting down on the wind.Overall works well for the price, especially compared to the $150+ price tag on a new taller windshield.

I installed the Windshield Extension the night before a 200-mile ride, so it was very much a real-world test right out of the gate. The ride included sustained highway speeds with steady 20 mph winds, followed by about 20 miles of off-pavement riding on a hard-packed but noticeably bumpy road.The tilt mechanism never slipped. I ran it up for pavement and down for off-pavement, and it stayed exactly where I set it the entire time. That was honestly my biggest concern going in, and it turned out to be a non-issue.For such a small piece of plastic, it deflects a surprising amount of wind away from the helmet visor. The reduction in wind pressure and turbulence was immediately noticeable at highway speed, not so much with the 20 mph crosswinds.The photos show the extension mounted and in use during that ride. A couple of them were taken at the “Big Chief” gas station—better known as the “Four Corners Gas” stop from Season 3, Episode 4—which made for a good excuse to document the setup mid-ride.If you’re on the fence because it looks small or “too simple” to work, don’t be. This thing punches well above its weight, installs easily, almost invisible when riding and stays put even when conditions aren’t friendly.

Super easy to install. Worked great for a few weeks of riding. After awhile, at highway speeds, the windshield extension would move as it wasn't strong enough against the wind. Tonight, riding home on the highway, it flopped back. One of the locks show in the picture hit me in the helmet. The whole thing nearly fell apart on the highway. I tried keeping it together, hoping that when I got home I could return it. Nope, my "return window" closed on the 24th, one day ago. Gotta love itIt lasted 1 day over a month. I hate to say it, but garbage.

I will say that it controls the helmet buffering. But with my particular windshield, I now have to look through the wind diverter plexiglass, which is relatively clean, but it is also brand new. It makes my windshield shake that it did not do before, and during certain reflections from the sun, it does get a little irritating, but I do think with as little as it bothered me on the first ride I doubt it I’ll even notice it later on. I’m glad I bought it because the wind buffering was very irritating to me, and it took away from the pleasure of writing. Now it’s relatively smooth at my helmet, which I like.It works they do give you updated hardware but I must admit it’s what I call a Jerry rig. It’s pour hardware to begin with, but it was under $30 so I cannot act like I am surprised. It is not some thing that you are going to buy once you will likely have to replace it after the first year or three I would think? The plastic hardware is as minimal as it could possibly be without it failing.

I have an 08 Kawasaki versys, a bike I believe this windshield is supposed to fit without issue. It took some work to make it fit. There's no instructions so everything is guess and test. That said, after about an hour, I had a very sturdy, well fitting, adjustable windscreen. I am 100% confident that it's going to stay in place, has had no issue at 80+mph, and does a good job reducing wind noise. Mine came from China, so I don't know how difficult returns would be, but a little fandangling and you can likely get it to fit on even an odd windshield like the old versys.I can't compare this windscreen to any other aftermarket screen because I've never bought one, but I am glad I bought this little guy. Does a great job and the price is fair

I never write reviews, but am going to make an exception on this one. If you are reading this, you are probably looking at a number of reviews trying to decide whether or not to take a chance on this item, even though the reviews are just kind of okay. After buying one, I don’t know what to tell you, but the reviews on quality of the item are accurate. Instructions are poor, but it did come almost fully assembled, so that wasn’t an issue. The real negative is that the point of adjustment hardware is all plastic and literally falls apart whenever you touch it. I did get mine mounted and promptly used electrical tape to make the fittings stay together. I took a short ride, and it does reduce the wind buffeting. I think that if you are careful with it and use tape, or permanently eliminate the adjustment points with glue, you can make it work. I probably wouldn’t buy it again, but I probably would also not pay $100 more for one of the name brands.

Even though I have a fairly tall windshield, I'm a tall girl (a little over 6') and was getting a lot of buffeting at anything over about 50 mph. In looking for solutions other than buying a new windshield, I found this item. It can be set to use as an extender, where it is above the level of the windshield, but it can also be used like I have it in the picture, where it redirects the air higher than the naked windshield. I installed it this morning, and got it just right on the first try. 75 MPH on my commute, and smooth sailing. This is going to make highway riding much more enjoyable.The only con to me was that there were no instructions included. However, it was fairly intuitive to figure out. I almost docked them a star for that, but I'm so happy with how it works, especially compared to the cost, that I have to give this 5 stars.

Good product.

Right out of the box, the main pivot joint (close to the clamps that would attach to the original windscreen) came right out. There's a few plastic pieces in there but on examination I don't know how they expect those to hold. The company provides some thumbscrews which are meant to replace that mechanism, which shows that they must recognize there is a problem here. I attached a picture of the joint. The joint actually fell apart while I was riding, fortunately it fell on the deck of my bike and I didn't lose it on the road.EDIT: Gave it a second chance today. The part to hold the joint fell off on the road. This time it didn't land on my deck. I didn't try to find it. Will be sending it back today.Second problem was that once I had it mounted on my bike, I noticed that the top screw on one side that holds the windshield extension was completely missing. I'm not sure if it was missing when I got it and I just didn't notice, or if it fell out during installation. It doesn't appear that the fastener there is replaceable so I can't fix it. Picture is attached of the missing screw hole.The manufacturing throughout is of very uneven and questionable quality. In one spot there is a large plastic deformity that shouldn't be there (picture included). The hex screws in some have their recesses either offset from center or are extremely rounded (picture included). You may not need to replace these screws, but it speaks to poor quality.I was disappointed that the mechanism to clamp the unit to the original windscreen requires a small hex key. I assume this protects it from theft, but I know some extension designs make it possible to detach without screws, by providing either cam-operated clamps or thumbscrews.I only got to ride it for about 40 km as I was worried that the missing screw would cause the extension to break. During this time I didn't notice any improvement in wind noise or buffeting. The unit seems to cause my windscreen to vibrate a lot. Given the manufacturing issues I noted, I am not sure I would trust this unit to hold together at speed.EDIT: I went for another 30-km or so ride, using it to get to work. I find it does nothing for wind noise.I would not recommend.
