I had it out for another hundred or so miles, and I'd say it definitely helps once you dial the angles of it in. I'm wishing I'd have looked for a wider unit, this one is about 12 inches wide, so I still feel like I'm getting a little bit on the sides of my helmet. But it seems to have taken away the need for ear plugs!Nice trip. I noticed in your photo that you have a deflector on the top of your windshield. Can you provide some feedback on it. I get a lot of buffeting when I ride. Does the deflector help any with this?
I finally found a wider model, but it's only 14.37 inches vs 11.8 for the one I have. It appears that might be the widest they sell in this style. $25 on ePay, might order one in the colder months for next season.I had it out for another hundred or so miles, and I'd say it definitely helps once you dial the angles of it in.

I wonder if I could make my own now that I I have all the bracketry? Probably cheaper to just buy a wider one, lol.
Not to start a new tire thread, but just wondering which Pilot Road version that is? 4,5,6? Thanks.I've been trying to wear out my K1600 B's Pilot Road rear tire that has 13,000 miles on it so I'll have a fresh tire for a November ride to California. Can't seem to do it so I rode up to a fantastic BMW rally in southern Virginia (BMW Colonial Rally at Wakefield). Had a great time, fantastic weather, camping, people, and location.
At 13,000 miles ...

Sorry I missed this question. PR4 GT is the answer. Used for cool weather Interstate rides Florida to California 2 round trips so EASY tire mileage. If I wasn't riding to California again next month, I think probably good for a thousand or 2 more miles.Not to start a new tire thread, but just wondering which Pilot Road version that is? 4,5,6?

Nice... UT 12 if weather permits, everyone should do that road.Had to travel to Las Vegas for some training so a great reason to get some seat time on my ST
Departed home at 4:00 AM to finish in Tucson with daylight. 16 hours later Spent the night. Good 8 hrs rest Then departed around 07:00am MST for Vegas. Did a quick pass over Hoover Dam and made my hotel about 1400. All in all great weather. Saw 41 degrees first morning in Texas, mostly 60’s & 70’s and sun rest of day. Second day started in 50’s. Gas and rest just N of Phoenix. ST was in full sun and temp gauge showed 86 degrees. I unlayered down to a tshirt and summer riding jacket. Saw low of
57 next 2 hrs. Layered back up in Kingman. Lesson learned.
This was my longest trip. Good confidence builder. Heading back home on Tuesday. Still need to plan it. I think I will take the Northern route if weather permits. A lot of unknowns before this trip but enjoyed every bit of it.
Almost forgot. 3 hrs in on first day, slowed down by a car chase. 45 minutes later & 10 police cars a 14 passenger van was in the medium. It looked like a nursing home transport. Might have been an old ST er making a run west?
