Is a Vented Windshield Better for Summer Riding?
Memphis Shades was awesome enough to send me out a 11 inch vented windshield for my Road Warrior fairing. I have been rocking a 15" for winter and spring, but with the hot weather the Midwest is experiencing, I figured more airflow would be a good idea. Watch as I slap this thing on and give a review after a quick ride.

I just installed a taller windshield on my Heritage. The up side, it fixed the buffetting I had. Down side, a loss of air flow. Noticeable in this heat. But, I can always take it off when I rip around town. I didn't think about a vented one until your video. I gonna look into that.
Beautiful video! I have that exact same one on my LRS. The only issue with the vented windshield is to keep the fairing clean, a lot of crap gets caught in between.
Have a 19 sport glide , love it, looked at Memphis shades road warrior set up , everything included is 500 bucks , not cheap
Hey D , if it’s any consolation , gas up here in Calgary is just under $9 a gallon, that’s for regular, and I put supreme in the sport glide , although we deal in litres. In other words $191.9 a litre for regular.
I bought the vented 15” for my 48. Have tried to move it up, down, back, forth, tilted in every possible direction. Insane buffeting no matter what. I will have to scrap it.
did you experience any buffeting? I am thinking about doing the same thing and getting the 9 or 11 plus a 17 for longer trips
What if I’m a female who is 5’4 with 10in ape hangers on my 48 and also looking into the vented ones.. what size do you think would fit best pls respond 🙏🏼
"walking bowlegged" HA HA I feel you (not literally). A year later and it has only gotten worse.
Hi, how tall are you? I’ve got the same bike and seat and also looking at a road warrior with vented shield. I’m 5’6 and looking at either the 9 or 11 inch dark smoke vented but concerned about head wobble!! I have the MS El Paso in 17 and get massive Buffeting.
Is that 11" Vented Dark Smoke or Regular smoke?
How tall are you? trying to figure out if this will work for me.
I don't think I could ride without the vented down here in Florida. Does a great job of getting controlled air through. One caution: every now and again you'll get a juicy bug that passes through the shield vents but hits the fairing. And you'll be sprayed with the guts.
Hi I'm tall 5'7'', it's better 11' or 9'??
The vents are for buffeting reduction...
