Since I sold the Valk I installed this MRA windshield on the Nighthawk. It doesn't work very well.

My problem at interstate speeds is that there's just too much wind on my knees which makes it hard for me to hold my legs against the tank.

Anyone out there tried a bigger windshield on a bike this size (750 Nighthawk) like the Slipstreamer line?
I don't want to invest in another shield unless it might do some good.  I'm a little leary about a big windshield on a smaller bike like this. Tail waggin' the dog so to speak.

For those that don't know me, I would've like to keep the Valk but my old knees wouldn't handle the weight.

Do "Baker Built" offer a model of their airwings for the Nighthawk?  If so... they might offer some "dead air" help for your knee-bones?

Solo1, I first was going to suggest MS Lowers, but after looking at the Shield, don`t know if you could get the lowers high enought to do the job. Lowers, that I made, took away all the buffing from a MS Big Shot Shield on a 1100 Spirit I had. Just some "thinkings"  Undecided Good luck.
