How to choose a suitable windshield?

2023-01-06

Installing a windshield on a motorcycle is a low-input, but high-yield modification project.
A windshield not only reduces drag for the cyclist, but also protects the rider from dirt and rain.

How to choose a suitable windshield?

First of all, we need to find out what materials are used for motorcycle windshields? What materials are the best?
Commonly used windshield materials are PC, PVC, PMMA and PET.
Although PVC and PET have good toughness, their transparency is not good. PC windshield has high strength, high transparency, and the best performance. But the price is also the highest.
In contrast, PMMA is more cost-effective, and it is the most common windshield material.

Borske specializes in the production of various motorcycle accessories and parts. Borske can customize windshields of different materials according to customer needs.

After determining the material and model, it is necessary to choose the appropriate size.
Every rider is different in height, and the suitable windshield height is also different.
In general, we recommend choosing a medium-sized windshield.
A medium-sized windshield can block the windward side of the chest, but can also direct some wind to the helmet.

The short windshield has almost no effect of blocking the wind, but only a decorative effect.
If your motorcycle is a street bike or a scooter, a short windshield will make your motorcycle look more refined.

Although the larger the size of the windshield, the better the effect of windshield. But we don't recommend choosing an oversized windshield either.
If all the wind is blocked, the body and head cannot dissipate heat. It doesn't take long to sweat which is very dangerous in summer.
We therefore recommend using a windshield of suitable material and a medium size.
If you want, you can buy two windshields of different sizes to deal with different riding.
