2014 Valkyrie Windshield Pictures

[The Dark Knight]

Here are pictures of the Honda windshield on my 2014 Valk.
I am getting a lot of buffeting while riding, even around 40 MPH. The wind also drives my shirt up from my waist to my chest. I tried to adjust it so the angle was steeper, but no luck with the way it mounts to the handlebars.
I moved it a little forward today and will ride it on the highway soon. So far not happy with the buffeting effect.

I've been riding behind mine with my faceshield up... maybe I'm just used
to more buffeting than you?

Very nice bike.
Although I do like this bike, most of the accessories appear to be purely afterthoughts by the engineers.
I do NOT mean for my comments to be derogatory.
Just my opinion.
If the accessories had been designed to "go with" the design of this bike I would own one.
Just waiting on the aftermarket designers to make some sense of this conundrum.

I get a little buffeting when it's windy. But usually it's good, always better than riding without it.

Dark Knight ... scroll down a bit.  You'll see my modification to the stocker windscreen (which mounts very poorly) that will work for you.

Check it out and enjoy.

i cut 5" off my tall windscreen and it is now perfect for me, i am 6'2". if i were to leave it the stock height, i would cut 1" to 1.5" out of the top bracket to lay it back where i would it, and then tig it back together and paint it.

The specs say the windshield is 100% lexan. Lowes has sheets of USA-made 100% lexan
in the right thickness... I'm going to try, instead of cutting my windshield, to
use it as a template to make a shorter one. We'll see how that goes

I just did what Bagger recommended. I added straps that had 2-inch on center holes to the lower connection bolts. This lowered the angle of the windhsield (top of shield moved towards the rider) as well as allowed some wind to come under the windshield. The buffeting seems to be reduced greatly.
I will post pictures when I get a chance.
Thanks Bagger!

You are welcome, m'friend. 

This mod works extremely well for me, too.  I'm 6'2" and now love the windscreen ... other than all the bracket crap to mount the windshield.
