I've got a V-Stream on my 11 and love it for it's better wind/weather protection, I only use it during the winter months because I like the added air flow of the stock screen during better weather. Looks? do they look any different?? I've never noticed to be honest?  ???

As far as looks go ... I couldn't give a rats, I got for it's functionality and it ticks all of the box's for me.

Well said.

I've had the Z-Technik on my 2015 RT for 25,000+ miles now. It's so efficient at routing the air around me that I rarely raise it. One minor negative is that when I do raise it some in colder weather, it decreases the fuel efficiency by about 5%. Other than that, for me it's great.


Also, in hot (90+ Fahrenheit; 32+ Celsius) weather, it's too efficient in directing air around me. I'm thinking the new, shorter OEM sport screen might help with this.

Well if that's ok by you, that is fine, but for me, one of the main draw points of the bike was the looks, and (for me) the V stream doesn't meet muster. So, again, for me, what a bike looks like..I DO give a rats

I used to have a Vstream screen but switched to a Cee Baileys one. I couldn't tell much difference between the two. Here is the Cee Baileys one. I understand they have stopped making screens now.
