Windshield Question

[RichD]

I know I want a windshield. I will be doing some trail riding, also, so I want something sturdy. Any recommendations? I'm looking at the Asahi Long from WEBIKE.

Zeta windshield mounted on the handlebar crown is very sturdy. Its height and angle can be adjusted to suit my need. In addition, the 22mm tube diameter makes it easy to install accessories such as phone holder and gear indicator.

The phone holder is mounted behind the windshield, which not only protects the phone but also allows me to easily use the ultra-wide-angle lens to record my ride.

I have the cheap amazon knock-off. The only issue I had with mounting was the main tube wasn't the right width so I had to bend the tube to get it to fit properly. Other than that it is decent quality. Not as nice as the Zeta but also it only was $70. Same as the other one, 22mm tube so I have mounted to it Garmin Zumo 396, as well as light switch for LED pods I installed. Not sure if it really helps with top speed or anything but it is nice to mount accessories and block some wind off chest.

I ordered the WOOGA brand too, and the bar was the same as yours... a good 3/4" or more too wide to fit the clamps. I returned it.
I read the reviews later that night and all the negative reviews said it didn't fit, describing the same exact problem I had!

@Dual Sport Doug I should have read the review prior as well but didn't. I think I ended up using a ratchet strap to get it to align. No big deal for me, but I totally understand why you would return it.

I ended up ordering the Zeta large from Webike. Import duty to the US was a surprise at $78.

Large one could't be installed upside down, but more coverage and less noise. I initially bought the small one, but encountered a sharp wind noise with my semi-jet helmet. So I bought a large size separately later on. Large one must be a good choice I think.

I had read that the small Zeta caused a lot of buffeting.

After installing the Zeta windshield, does it increase wind noise? I’m considering buying the large-size Zeta windshield, and I wear a full-face helmet.
Also, I plan to use an Insta360 to record my rides. Do you think installing the Zeta windshield will affect the video footage?

I wear semi-jet, wind noise decreased a little bit due to less turbulence around neck. Just a little, please don't expect a huge improvement.
After installing the Zeta windshield, don't fully tighten the four screws on the crossbar yet. While riding, feel the wind boundary on the helmet shield with your left hand, slightly adjust the angle of Zeta windshield. The wind boundary should hit higher than the lower end of helmet shield. Then tight screws up.

If you put Insta360 behind windshield, and some dirt on the windshield , it will affect the image quality for sure.

Had to bend mine to get it to fit. Went with getting a very good fit before bolting it on.

I did not notice an increase in noise, but I installed it before doing a lot of riding for comparison.

I was looking at the Wooga windshield on Amazon for $111 Cdn. I then found what appeared to be an exact copy made by Midimttop on sale for $76 Cdn. I was expecting to bend the bar to make it fit but surprisingly it went on perfectly without any effort.
Today I painted the exhaust shield with high temp gloss black to match all the other glossy Amazon parts.

Nice.
