Need more airflow for warm weather riding

Post by AlreadyReadyAlready »

Dear RT Experts,

I'm looking for ideas to increase the airflow while riding my 2018 RT with the stock windshield in the lowest position. The K1600GT has nifty wind deflectors that when opened direct airflow into the cockpit for just such cooling. Has anyone experimented with trying to mount those on an RT? I have found aftermarket adjustable wind deflectors for Honda Goldwing, but nothing that would fit an RT. I have Wunderlich Fairing Protection Bars installed which would make a convenient mounting point. See image and red oval for a possible mounting point. Any ideas are welcomed!

It's not the screen or fairing causing the lack of cooling air, it's the 50" wide screen tv! :lol:
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)

Yeah, I considered that but I rode without the tablet attached and it didn't help. Plus I'm addicted to YouTube...
