Windshields and wind

dreamers-62 · 09-22-2008, 09:12 PM

I was out riding the other day and it was pretty windy...not gale force or anything but enough that I got buffeted around a little, which being new at this was a little unnerving as the bike seemed to be steering itself at some points. The person I was with had a Suzuki S40 and no windshield and said they didnt feel the effect of the wind and that it was my windshield. Do windshields make that much of a difference? I think their bike is only about 50 lbs heavier than mine. I was thinking I might try taking the windshield off and seeing if it made much of a difference...thoughts anyone? :skeptical:
