Anybody tried the new Windbender electric windsheild? I couldn't find a cost on their website, anybody seen anything on that?

this is a feature that i really dont understand. in my experiences, i never needed to constantly adjust the windshield, even if it were electric. i get a spot with the 1500 or 1800 and there it stays forever.

can someone tell me what i am missing by not adjusting the height.

Why?

I rode a BMW K1200LT w/ electric windsheild. It was nice to transition from a secondary road to a interstate and raise the windsheild to avoid taking a wind beating without stopping. Its also nice to ride with the windsheild up, and then maybe lower it if it starts to rain so you can look over it. Ride up a tall montain, raise the sheild for warmth, down the otherside lower it for a breeze. I found it useful, wish Honda had included it on the top of the line touring bike. Not sure what I'm willing to pay for that advantage. L.

I believe it is an addtional $350.00 and can be retrofitted.

$600.00 ( $250 for the WB shield and $350 for the electrics)

I had one on my ST 1300 and liked it very much. I also didn't think it would be a big deal but after having one I highly recommend it.

I adjust my shield depending on riding conditions and what kind of riding I am doing.
If I am LD riding, I put it all the way up to save energy by fighting less wind.
If it is cold or raining, I put it al the way up to block more of the weather. I look over the shield, even with it all the way up anyway.
If I am out enjoying a nice day of riding, I put it all the way down, so I can feel the wind.

HEY HONDA!

An electrically adjustable windshield is # 1 on my most wanted list :mrgreen:

One of the best accessories I knew I didn't need until I had one.

I'd trade the remote and the CD hook up for one.

Electric Windbender on it's way

You guys hang in there. I am supposed to be getting a new electric windbender in the next week or two, and will be submitting a full photo installation and layout along with a write up.

Before I put on my Tulsa,I changed my stock windshield position often,depending on riding conditions.
If it is warm,I like the shield in it's lowest setting,cold or wet weather,I like it up all the way.

But,all of my riding is done in the spring and fall,so most of the time it's in cooler weather. The Tulsa is best suited for my weather.

While waiting at a red light show how cool you are by raising and lowering your windshield several times.....bystanders will be in awe
