- THE BEST Wind Protection with your Memphis Shades Road Warrior Fairing for your Harley Street Bob! Many people struggle with wind buffeting when using the Memphis Shades Road Warrior Fairing. I tried a few screens until I could get the best result for me. I will review the options I tried and some of the tips and tricks to get the cleanest air with your Road Warrior Fairing.

appreciate you sharing your experience in this video. I wish you had included some b-roll footage showing how it looks like from the front, for each of the options you discussed. I know I can find on other sites, but would have been great to have seen these in this video, while you were mentioning them.
Check out his 5000 mile review video. He shows a front view on that video. Had to seek it out because like you I was frustrated by his lack of a front view on this one and I wasn't able to find any front view pictures anywhere. I like the look and may go with this windshield when I get the Road Warrior for my 23 Low Rider. I already have the Memphis Shades system with 2 windshields including the Memphis Slim clear which I like. The horror videos of wind buffeting with the Road Warrior has scared me off but this combo may work. I'm about 5'7" so pretty short also.
Have been searching windscreens for a road warrior fairing and your review with explanations is by far the most valuable and insightlfull I have found and based on your findings I will be looking for a cafe screen as well. Most appreciated.
Glad it could help. Just my experience, I guess a lot of factors could be different for everyone
Thanks for the suggestion. No one seems to mention this size in any videos. I have the Memphis shades on my 23 lowrider and 2 different size windscreens including the Memphis slim clear. Thinking of going with the Road Warrior for summer but still undecided on which size windshield if I go that route. You are about my size so this one may work for me. Interesting that it gives you better results at higher speeds with the lower height
I'm six foot and have the Road Warrior with the 11" screen on my 2007 Street Bob. Here in the U.K. we have so many speed cameras, safety zones, average speed monitors, Police mobile speed traps and traffic monitoring mobile vans we're getting terrified to ride faster than the posted speed limits! 70mph is our maximum and that is only on our motorways and dual carriageways so I find the 11" screen does the job just fine. 100mph on public roads over here is pretty much an instant loss of licence, a court hearing, a hefty fine and possible jail time!
Dang dude!
I feel for you but why did you guys let that happen to your country? It's a constant struggle here in the states to maintain our freedoms and I always cringe when they use Europe as an example for why we should adopt something. It's exactly what I don't want us to become.
There are a few speed cameras here in Philly but very few and easy to avoid. Most sane areas of the country have avoided them
Thanks for sharing your experience with these windscreens! I am considering getting the GAUNTLET Memphis fairing It should be very similar to the cafe racer one!
Yeah I think the gauntlet will have similar effect
Looks better also imo thx for the info .
I often see reviews about wind impacts with this fairing. But many people forget that the helmet also affects this. If you ride in a bad helmet with this fairing, you will feel bad. You need a helmet with good aerodynamics and sound insulation. I changed my Biltwell gringo and now I'm running in Shoei gt air 2 and I feel better.
True a good helmet can help as well
I don't see the Cafe wind screen on their site. I like the setup. And close to the same height, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I found the road warrior fairing but no Cafe windscreen.
I think it should be there in the screens section
I have a similar experience - 11 inch screen works well until about 70 then starts to buffett.
I changed back to the Gauntlet Fairing and no more buffetting. the trade off is more wind on your body ,Im 5-7 and run a saddlemen seat I also dont like the looks of the tall screens.
Maybe i will try the cafe
thanks for the great video

Yeah seems like taking more air with the smaller ones but it's cleaner air
@@TheMotoJawn better for moto logging too. Less wind rumble in my videos
Thanks for the video. Just curious if a 9” non vented would have worked just as well. I personally like the traditional style screens over the cafe.
I think 9 in non vented would have still had buffeting because of the shape
Great video, I just recently purchased the road warrior fairing. Went for a ride here in Jersey and when i hit speeds of 50 started feeling the wind buffeting. So im going nuts on going small or taller on windshield. I have 11 in and I’m 5’8 with saddlemen seat. I may explore the cafe windshield.
I think you'd have to go alot higher or another smaller. Cafe screen is great for me
@@TheMotoJawn just ordered the cafe windshield.
@@anthonymorales24 I think you'll like it
I picked up the cafe windscreen. Wanted to ask you where did you position your fairing on the bracket? The adjustment for the fairing?
I bought the Cafe Fairing because I wanted a different look than everyone else with Road Warriors. I still get wind, but the buffeting on my chest is essentially gone.
I bet that one works pretty good too
appreciate this video! very informative. I'm 6'1" with the same bike. Do you think the cafe style windscreen would work? Anybody else out there with my height wanna weigh in on what fairing/screen works best?
Yeah I think it would work. You would be well above the screen for your head. But wind roved from your chest
The best bikini type fairing i had was on a 1981 yamaha xs 1100 rh. ( the all black model). It has a a kick in the top of the screen and all wind would just hit the top of my helmet.
I believe all fairings should have the minimal curved lip and,am surprised no one has them .
It is not even a large fairing. Possibly designed in a wind tunnel test. It seems all the windshields have no wind deflection design?
I think clockworks has some with the lip at the top
I'm 6 ft tall and actually have the same bike, what would everyone suggest. The highway gets to ya after a while without any protection
Cafe eh? I have the Road Warrior 12inch.
Is that stock risers and handlebars on your Street Bob?
Yeah that is a stock set up
