That does look the goods. First time I've seen or heard of WRS windscreens but it appears as good if not better than Givi, Puig etc. Much better look than my screen extension.

[@JimmyHutchison]

The quality is great and a very nice design, After I purchased the extension it did a ok job, not the best quality and cheap materials.

[@davidread319]

Hi Jimmy I've still got the standard screen on my 500x but just added the mini screen on top work's out the same as the taller screen you have added to your 500x cheer's another great video.

[@JimmyHutchison]

Thank you ,I did use a clip on for a week or two and was happy with it but the quality and finish let it down and weight, The fit of the new windshield suits the bike 👍

[@jeffcox3544]

Saving to buy a 500X with cash Your upgrade videos are very helpful and informative As far as I can see the upgrades that you have done are a must Thanks for the videos and keep them coming This ole Mississippi boy will keep on watching

[@JimmyHutchison]

Glad you like them! You will love the bike 👍

[@charliechance8589]

Just bought one from the company in the US. Like how they kept the stock design and increased the size. Great suggestion.

[@JimmyHutchison]

I think it improves the ride immensely, Glad you liked the suggestion 🤝

[@sandman20011]

Nice video thanks, how tall are you by the way Jimmy? I'm 6ft 3 and struggling with the wind buffeting on my CB500X.

[@JimmyHutchison]

I would say I’m 6.2 at a guess ,so far so good for me but I haven’t had to much use yet, I did notice a good bit of difference so far, I will do a video with my enduro helmet to see how that fairs as it has a peak which gets air caught using the factory windshield.

[@CB500Xoo7]

Hi Jimmy, thanks for sharing this. I’m planning on getting barkbusters for my 500x but might need to get a sheild like this if barkbusters hit stock shield. Was that happening on stock screen? Bikes looking great dude 🥂💪

[@JimmyHutchison]

No problem 👍 the barkbusters are fine with the stock windshield ,it is when the new windscreen was fitted on its highest setting👍

[@shaneheveldt5465]

Just purchased this screen now. I hadn’t seen this brand before but looks great 👍 Cheers Jimmy

[@JimmyHutchison]

No worries Shane ,Very happy with mine 🤙

[@mrbjay5443]

Love your bike, very clean and that new screen is perfect!

[@JimmyHutchison]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@lonniepruitt5487]

Shit I remember back in 70’s we didn’t have wind screens.. it just wasn’t heard of.. but we didn’t have bikes like we have today.

[@geofferyrobertson6608]

the handlebars would only touch the new screen when stopped and then turning the front wheel . shouldn't interfere on the high setting when travelling especially on the highway

[@JimmyHutchison]

Yeah you can get away with it, I like the lower setting for visibility and not being to tall

[@geofferyrobertson6608]

try out the high setting and see how it goes

[@JimmyHutchison]

I gave it a try first as I already adjusted it for the factory windscreen, was good but felt like I was looking up at it lol

[@HondaWanderer]

@@JimmyHutchison why are you looking up? You should be looking at the road lol

[@bh.76]

Hi Jimmy the WRS screens are great. I was having a crap time with the buffering and got the smoked sports version which directed the air to the chest area which I don't mind.

[@JimmyHutchison]

Hi Brad, big fan of the WRS good quality, sorted all my issues out👍

[@ThroughtheValleyADV]

How do you find the shorter screen? I’m torn between the sports one or tall one

[@ThroughtheValleyADV]

@@bh.76 that’s the hard thing…love touring but also hitting the trails…

[@Yowzoe]

@@ThroughtheValleyADV Would it work to use thumb screws to quickly switch out the tall WRS and a small sport screen?

[@noelbowerman1562]

The screen works as good as the big one on my ST1300.

[@JimmyHutchison]

The screen really sorted the bike out,

[@wasaluki2292]

Any update on the screen Jimmy?..now that you've had it for a while. I bought th4 wrs sport screen thinking it would take thr wind off my helmet and onto my chest.. but I'm only a short arse and it still gets my head. Thinking I may have to go this taller version. If it works for you at 6'2".. surely it'll work for my short self!?!?

[@JimmyHutchison]

Hey @wasaluki2292 ,The WRS screen solved all my issues and more , Makes the ride more laidback with no pressure on you, I’m sure you will be satisfied and it makes the bike look nicer I reckon 👍

[@porter5877]

Dude your accent is a cross between a ozzie and a Yorkshire man???? Think im gonna get one of these screens ,great to see ya test it with an open face lid.

[@JimmyHutchison]

Haha I get reminded everyday living in Australia, I’m from Lancaster Uk 🇬🇧 been in Aus for 20 years , I gave the enduro helmet a test on Sunday and it was awesome stops the turbulence,vey happy with the screen, 👍

[@dave8456]

Something to think about! I ride with an HJC half-y helmet. With stock windshield highest setting. I get some not so great buffering. Been using earplugs and sometimes a face wrap. Does help a lot. I was surely thinking a smooth full-face helmet would end it all. NOPE! It was worst. It was more noise, but possibly not as loud. But extremely annoying, earplugs or not. With half-y helmet, I could hunch down about 2" and reduce noise dramatically. With Full-face helmet it didn't matter where I went. Even right behind the windshield, it was still making noise. I was sure with the half-y helmet and the WRS in the low position. I could get the 2" that I needed. Wow! I was so disappointed. Not sure it was any better than the stock windshield. Now I am out of pocket $100 Plus. Another note: I noticed the vent holes are not quite as matched as the stock screen. I am tempted to enlarge the holes a little. Get more air pressure in the chest area. Just might be the ticket.

[@stephenevans596]

Nice video & I thank you - I'm getting this bike next week - can't wait - may I ask about you crash bars as I like them very much - I thank you.

Src Adventure MOTO

[@saschaliebig6499]

Wind comes also through the Space between the handelbar and the Gastank. Some solutions for that out there to fix it.

[@dudsdgreat]

Hi Jimmy. Stock windscreen does not have anti-scratch coating. What is the condition now of your WRS HO042T Caponard windscreen? Does it scratch easily like the stock one? My stock windscreen is only 5 months old, treated with Graphene Infused Wax for every ride or after cleaning the bike, but still scratches easily. I am targeting to purchase the HO042T in the next few days but still thinking about its scratch resistance over the stock windshield. But if you can attest that it is better than the stock one, apart from eliminating wind buffeting, the better info you can provide. Thanks man.

[@soulsound-relaxingmusic9461]

Hello Jimmy. Love your review. I’ll be purchasing the exact same windshield. It looks like it makes a big difference. Would you mind telling me the brand of your black crash bars? Thank you 🙏

[@JimmyHutchison]

SRC ADVENTURE MOTO, mine are the original design but the have updated since? Appreciate the comment 🔑👍

[@soulsound-relaxingmusic9461]

Thanks a lot Jimmy! Yes i saw that they changed the design. Yours looks way better than the new one. Ill keep looking for one that resembles yours. Keep the great videos coming 🤙

[@Brejkax]

Hello Jimmy, How satisfied are you? Don't blow in an enduro helmet? Squeaks when driving? How many cm do you measure? I can't decide which one is better? Givi D1171ST or WRS? Thank you for answer! :-)

[@Yowzoe]

Would it work to use *thumb screws* to be able to quickly switch out between this tall WRS screen for highway and a small sport screen for trail?

[@JimmyHutchison]

Some people out doing that I have noticed👍

[@Yowzoe]

@@JimmyHutchison I need to research that, it would be perfect for me.

[@giorgisyr1]

Are there any warnings on the package? For example Givi windshield suggests to not pass 130km/h while cruising because it might crack.

[@JimmyHutchison]

No and not sure the cb500x likes to ride at those speeds to be honest,sure it’s fine👍

[@Actias1974]

Looks like an Alien queen.

[@JimmyHutchison]

That was my thought too , The bike reminds me of The Predator 👍

[@ThroughtheValleyADV]

Hey mate, what is the actual screen that you ordered? Is it the standard screen or the Caponord?

[@JimmyHutchison]

Caponord ,in the video at end I say where I got it and on packaging has part number 🤙

[@stepbackandthink]

I have the stock screen and get no buffeting at all.

[@JimmyHutchison]

I’m about 6.0 ,this screen helped and fit the looks of the bike nicely

[@stepbackandthink]

@@JimmyHutchison It does look better.
