Review on ๐Ÿ๏ธ Enhance Your Riding Experience with MRA X-Creen Tour Add-On Variable Windscreen Spoiler Blade (Bolt-On) in Smoke Gray by Reed Nuttbrock

Revainrating 2 out of 5

solid construction, doesn't reflect light well

When the sunlight isn't reflecting off surfaces it works well and provides good wind protection which is why I bought it. The wind was blowing wildly in my face and down my neck at speeds in excess of 60mph and I was on a four week tour of the US and couldn't take it anymore. So I ordered this bolt-on adjustable X-Creen wind deflector to install on my windshield in hopes of eliminating the shaking and general chaos caused by the wind. This worked but unfortunately the sunlight bounces off the small screen in different places many times of the day and the effect is very distracting and causes a kind of "local" blindness where bright reflections jump around and flicker making it very difficult see through the shield. I recently took a road trip in Yosemite Valley with the screen on and the low sun bounced off the screen causing me to seriously slow down from not being able to clearly see through all the super bright reflections dancing around see the windshield. made of plastic. Were it not for the distracting and almost painful reflections of bright spots many times throughout the day I would heartily recommend this article, but this is a fatal flaw in a well-designed (but tricky to install) windshield extender. I'll take it off and put a taller windshield on it, although it'll cost several times more than the X-Screen.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far so good
