NEW Windshields for the 2024 Honda Africa Twin

[@mikichicago1200]

Try the forkshields , cause thats where the bufferting comes from. You can try to put something like a bag on the hole around the forks, it will be instantly better✌️

[@BEAST5409xbl]

I'm curious if your results would change on the caponard if you put the seat in the high position. I'm the same height as you, I ride with the seat in the high position. I also plan on buying the seat concepts comfort xl tall seat. Unrelated, I reached out to Madstad to verify their screen (listed as 2020 and up at the time) fit the 2024 ATAS and they assured me it did, so i bought their 20" option... Well, it didn't fit. Mounted fine, but mirrors hit the sides of the screen with an inch left in handlebar movement being cut off. Now it's listed as 2020-2023. They offered zero information as to if they would develop a system to fit the 2024, and still don't have it listed as a bike they want in order to develop a system. It's a shame and huge disappointment because it's wide enough to block the air that you were not liking so much with the WRS screens near the top of the front fairing. I'll be eagerly awaiting your next discovery for a better screen. Also if you happen to test them out again with the seat in the high position that would be rad; if the results change for the better, I'll probably give the WRS a go. Thank you for all the content, I appreciate all of it and respect your opinions greatly.

I found your channel approximately 1 month ago and appreciate your honest reviews about the AT. I'm definitely looking forward to additional videos regarding mods and service costs to your bike. Thanks for sharing.

[@adventureundone]

thank you so much

[@jamespeoples7566]

So are you saying at the end of your video that the caponord would be better if im 6'1 with seat in high position than the touring windshield on 2024 africa twin as

[@jag1963]

This is great content AU. Thanks for the reviews. You do the testing and we all reap the benefits so thank you. The irony of Honda saying that the windsheild has been made two handed to stop us doing it on the move which makes it safer when infact 99% of people are now just taking both hands off the bars to bring it up making it a whole lot more dangerous than other one handed designs (Tracer 9) (Triumph Tiger) is laughable.

[@Teddynewz]

If you find a windshield, filling up the gap hitting your shoulders at the high position, please let us know in a short (or long) video. Thx 😊

[@BEAST5409xbl]

I own a 2024 ATAS 6MT and can confirm the current upper wind deflectors offered by Honda do NOT fit. I ordered them and had to return them, they should fit the 2024 base model though according to my dealer.

[@windinthewillows6248]

They do, and they work very well on the stock 2024 AT.

[@razorwired130]

Any word on when the upper and lower wind guards are going to be available for the 2024 ATAS?

[@BEAST5409xbl]

​@@razorwired130 to my knowledge, no word. Dealer has no info. I can't find anything on OEM supply websites. It's a shame how Honda has handled the model refresh, and even more of a shame how it's throwing the aftermarket for a loop too.

[@jackk1583]

Hi/ I saw your vid of the mods. Very nice. Quest: Heed bars. I'm thinking about them too/ so much better then OEM/ mount to frame etc: but/ coming from Poland. Was that a good experience? Outrageous shipping? Duty fees? Receive them quickly?? Tkx a lot.

[@robj.m.straathof9341]

The old one is a V-Stream. Thats the brand. Thanx for your review.

[@mm93249]

Thank you! Great tips.

[@UncleWally3]

Given its touring capacity, wonder what the cost and weight of an electronically adjustable windscreen would be, similar to what Honda offers on a Goldwing?

[@gordripley1406]

Honda stock with a Puig windshield deflector, you can adjust the deflector based on the day and type of riding you are doing

[@adventureundone]

@@gordripley1406 the old puig deflectors don’t fit do they? I had them on my 22’ AT

[@gordripley1406]

@@adventureundone they come in three sizes, the large would likely fit well.

[@Hookmeister]

I have the standard Africa Twin and my factory screen is 16.5” tall, but is a little more consistent in width that what yours appears to be at the 42 second mark. It seems to be 12” wide and the bottom and only increases to 13” at the top. I have a 3.75” Puig medium clip on top of it that has worked really well so far. Also, when I sat on the Adventure Sports with the 19” front wheel and then immediately climbed on the standard model with the 21” it seems you need less windshield on the standard because the dash instruments are higher in my sight line. As to your question, yes I do believe I will switch out my windshield at some point. I’m thinking I’ll check out Puig because they seem to be a little thicker and I’ve had good experience with them in the past. That’s said I’m open minded if something is better out there. Appreciate the thorough review of the WRS. The vibration in the larger one surprised me.

[@adventureundone]

yeah I was thinking the same with the base trim, with the info screen being a bit higher up

[@BlazoOfficial]

I also bought WRS screen. 2 best things I have done for the air comfort is OEM side deflectors and fork deflector (don't know which made bigger difference, because I mounted them at the same time, but it's much, much better)

[@bmo2756]

you have the fork deflector for a 2024 adventure sport? I'm trying to find one, but don't see one for the 2024 model. If you have the 2024 one for adventure sport, or know where I can order one, please provide the website. Thanks

[@BlazoOfficial]

@@bmo2756 I ordered one for 2023 from aliepxress, and cut it to match 2024, also hadto make 2 new holes in it. It makes a lot of difference

[@MikeK6046]

Finding a good windscreen can be a real bummer (been there/ done that). As "MtbPoland" commented below, getting a Wind Deflector can be the answer. Also, just saying I hear the lower-priced Transalp 750's stock/ factory windscreen is supposed to be pretty good (the reviewer "Nothing To Prove" was pretty impressed by it).

[@clarenceduff7481]

I had a 2016 AT and stock for that was terrible. I went through several screens until i tried Madstad. Bingo!!! Although the 2024 AT has some problems, it is a whole heck of a lot better the the 2016. Im still riding with stock, waiting for Madstad to develop something. Since there windscreen is adjustable id probably have to leave stock adjustavikty alone and use there adjustments.

[@170bcuda]

The windshield conundrum.... Im in that same boat with my 21 AT. Good info, thanks for posting. I need to change out my stock unit. I tried the honda tall AT windscreen but top of windscreen is directly in my line of sight...very annoying

[@adventureundone]

they givi is great for the previous model AT's

[@jonlough3074]

I ride my 2022 with the windscreen off. It is loud as can be but no turbulence. Just installed a huge givi tonight and it is quieter but turbulent. I can't win! I don't care about wind on my body but I definitely don't want to go deaf. Crazy loud even with ear plugs. If I can't figure this out, I am most likely gonna sell it and get a naked bike.

[@rkr6237]

Hi. Wouldn’t a naked bike have more wind against the rider and therefore be louder? Just trying to understand

[@jonlough3074]

@rkr6237 That is a good question. I think what is happening is that the wind coming off of the front of the bike is hitting the bottom inch or 2 of my helmet. If I come off the seat about 2 inches or stand all the way up, it gets super quiet. So I think it's more so a matter of where the wind is hitting the helmet and not quite so much about the amount of wind that is hitting the helmet. I need to try to go take a naked bike for a test drive. If the wind is clean that hits the helmet, it should be quieter.

[@rkr6237]

@@jonlough3074 can I ask how tall you are? I’m thinking about an AT as my next bike but have some reservations and one of them is the issue you’ve pointed out.

[@jonlough3074]

@rkr6237 you bet! I am 6 feet 4 inches tall, about 240 pounds. I ride with a shoei rf1400 helmet. I have had the standard windscreen and the honda tall windscreen. Both screens produced buffetting but I don't get any riding without one. The windscreens were also loud but not as loud as riding without one. My brother is 5 feet 9 inches and he said it was better with the windscreen on. The bike has been great otherwise.

[@rkr6237]

@@jonlough3074 thank you. I’m 6 2” so might face similar issues to you. Hope I manage to get a decent test ride in to get a better idea. Have you tried clipping extensions to the existing windscreen to raise the height of the screen even further?

[@ericmecham7876]

I went and test rode both flavors of the african twin 2024 I dident have any issues with wind im 5 7 my wife is 6 4 we took them up to 90 mph we didn't feel beat up by wind we normal don't have a windshield on our bikes so that may have a contributing factors

[@adventureundone]

yeah, because on my Scrambler 1200 without a windshield shewwww I felt like was was getting ripped off, lol

[@azmanmarleyarit]

The only flaw is that gap when you raised the wind shield.

[@MtbPoland]

You can save A LOT MONEY and have imeddiate fix by fitting wind deflector shield.

[@MikeK6046]

Yep you are probably right (over the years I've used various wind deflectors with good, to great success)

[@razorwired130]

Honda is not manufacturing the upper or lower wind deflectors for the 2024 model. No word on when/if they will be available.

[@WADER999]

Yes , this is true. It is pure business laziness. Honda thinks it has improved a lot, but there is still a lot to improve.

what can you say about the ASA features of BMW Motorrad?

While I appreciate your time and effort to compare windscreens if you think I bought my Africa twin to cruise the highways you're wrong .we bought an Africa twins because we are going off road for fuck sake get Harley bagger if you want a big old windshield

[@razorwired130]

If you are such an off road “bad-ass” you wouldn’t be riding an AT.

Do you know what is annoying. Listening to this bloke complaining. Gives me the sh-ts.
