windy

the wind seems pretty bad at 45 mph, what thoughts on small wind screen?

you wear a full face helmet? if not, get one. problem, solved.

There's windshields and wind deflectors available for the CT125. Even the XL windshield doesn't really stop wind or objects hitting you in the face unless you are VERY short, the only thing that does is a helmet.

@cowboy peet has the nicest setup I've seen on the forum for wind protection, and you can see his setup here.

Yeah I wear a full helmet it's more the winds hitting me. I guess because you duty so high up on the bike.

just have to get used to it. its a motorcycle after all. a windshield will help, i guess. theres lots of clip on options.

years ago i had one of these on my CB750 for a trip to the panhandle of fla, was a1100 miles round trip or so. it helped w the bugs on hwy 98. but i was also going a bit faster than 45.

Is this what you're looking for?

Just kidding.

With the upright seating position you'd need a barn door of a windshield, or a fairing like a Vetter Windjammer, to really make a difference in keeping wind off you. Adding that would make the bike blow around easier in the wind, decrease fuel economy, and decrease speed.

I noticed that the lack of fuel tank also makes the bike feel colder when you're riding it at first too. It's even more naked than a regular naked. I guess the question is, how much would make a big difference to you? On cowboy peet's photos, you can see that his helmet is still covered in bugs, so he's clearly not getting the Goldwing treatment. I've often considered adding the wind deflector because I don't feel like I would want or need much, but then I rode through summer and changed my mind.
