I ordered a small cafe windshield for my bike. Just wondering if I wasted my money or if I will notice a difference.

I bought a small wind deflector I liked online instead of the larger faring type. It keeps the wind out of my eyes and shoots it over my head even though my line of sight is well above it. So far so good. Just rode about 30 miles on a test ride today. It is in the pictures I have posted. Let us know how yours works out.

This does not fit well. Any recommendations for one that looks and fits well?

How it looks is a personal preference most of the time so thats a difficult task to know what your looking for. I found one online from National Cycle that I like allot. I got N2590-01 Deflector Screen. Fits my 81 Special great. Won't stop all the wind in the eyes but sure makes it more tolerable here in the rural lanscape where I live. I'm not telling you that's what you need. just that I am happy with mine.
I've had this one on by ebay watch list for over a year: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/121021500233?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
It's for the 360 but I imagine should be fairly compatible with some 400 models.

I world love to see it. I put a small one on but it's not working well.
I edited my post above couldn't get to the front to see what brand it is.

Looks great. Do toy remember where you got it? Is it a slipstream?

I ordered my cafe fairing from Philips Lockhart, it's universal, but just note that the stock bars don't fit with it.

Does it throw the air up over you when you sit upright?

Still get it on the helmet, but not the chest

I have this one fitted if I'm planning on riding on any long straight roads, it helps take the wind off my chest and just makes riding less tiring but i do take it off for any other times because i think the bike looks better without. Its a standard slightly smoked screen which i stuck a racing sticker on. The make is Puig, got it off eBay and it came from Germany.
