Wunderlich windscreen
through the screen, the buffeting and back- pressure were extremely bad for me. God forbid he would lower the screen to its low- est setting while riding through town and forgot to raise it as we gained speed. Believe me, I let him know about that transgression. John: Regardless of the stock wind-
shield’s height, I always felt a great deal of turbulence on my shoulders and buffeting at all speeds over 45 mph. Riding two-up with Sally meant the windscreen had to be set to its highest setting for her to ride comfortably. As we all know it didn’t seem to matter what screen height I wanted, I lost all of those “discussions.”
K 1600 GTL Stock Windscreen John: Nothing much changed here except I had forgotten how bad the stock screen is compared to a well-engineered wind man- agement system. The turbulence on my shoulders and upper torso along with heavy buffeting was present at all screen settings. At the point I began to get some relief, my sight horizon was even with the top of the screen, leaving me to constantly
alter my position in order to either look over or through the screen. Sally: Holy cow! John started out with

When John told me he was beginning to get some relief, I told him to keep raising the windscreen. It wasn’t until the screen was at nearly its highest setting that I felt comfortable enough to continue.
Wunderlich Windscreen John: Despite the fact I had put only 1,000 or so miles behind this windscreen, it was certainly a welcome relief after spending over an hour behind the stocker. Even in its lowest setting I felt no turbulence on my shoulders and little buffeting. As I raised the windscreen to the point I had sufficient airflow across the top of my helmet I was able to cleanly look over the top of the windscreen with approximately three inches to spare. The design of the screen is a bit different than the stock and the Ztech- nik; it’s flatter, with what can best be described as notches cut out of the upper
