Add a WS vent

[Chiefy]

Would like to add a vent to my OEM Standard WS.   Is any one vent a better fit or overall choice then another?  All I can find are replacement vents for other WS, is there a better source?

Rethink it because I have a clearview vent in mine (replaced original with clearview plastic) and I can not tell a difference when it is open or closed.  Might be a waste of money and time.

Put your hand behind the vent when it is open,you will feel air movement, it basically equalizes pressure, and reduces buffeting.  I have the same set up.  Hoser

they sell windshields but explain reason behind the use of a vent as stated by Hoser

I put a new Tulsa WS with a vent on a GW.  Seems to me the vents sold were new Honda vents.
I liked the combination opening the vent made a big difference. Heavy rains would leak some water but not a problem it's pouring rain anyways.

Have to agree. I put one in my other bike I sold and really couldn't tell much either.

IF you do add a vent, put a piece of screen in it to stop bugs, hot pieces of tar and etc from coming through it.

Following my buddy in Canada several years ago, I had my vent open, on my GW, and he hit a fresh asphalt repair and a little piece came through and stuck on my upper lip.    Left a real good scar, and hurt like hell at the time.  I had to swat the piece off of my lip.   She no bleed, as it was cauterized on the spot.

Other than that, it worked great.

nothing but a BIG bug catcher is my experience with them.

I've heard that it slices the bugs up better to make them more digestible.
