THE BEST Wind Protection with Memphis Shades Road Warrior Fairing for Harley Street Bob 114!

[@jaxwylde2139]

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.

[@dgross2009]

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.

[@vongruff4732]

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.

[@TheMotoJawn]

Glad it could help. Just my experience, I guess a lot of factors could be different for everyone

[@LeonardoMarchese]

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!

[@TheMotoJawn]

Yeah I think the gauntlet will have similar effect

[@dgross2009]

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

[@JacobAdin]

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.

[@TheMotoJawn]

True a good helmet can help as well

[@ElMontro1992]

This video helped a lot. I’m 5’5 and was going to go w the 11”. I ordered 9” instead. I currently have the Memphis shade cafe fairing, originally paired it with drag bars but I upgraded to 10” mini apes w a 2.5 inch riser and I feel like the road warrior will look best and perform better w those bars. I honestly don’t even pass 80mph. Maybe once in a blue but for the most part I just go 10-15 over the speed limit. I have a CDL so i can’t risk getting speeding tickets which is why I got a sportster 😅

[@mikejacks1939]

thanks, really useful. I have been pondering the memphis shades road warrior for longer journeys as my nose fairing throws the wind and bugs right into my face. Big question for me was height of screen, at 5 10/11 I am a few inches taller but 32 inside leg. most of us have similar trunk size so there is prob not a big difference unless well over 6 foot. I was looking at the 11 inch but will now check out the cafe style. Thanks again

[@veefour57]

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!

[@TheMotoJawn]

Dang dude!

[@dgross2009]

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

[@randytbird6548]

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 Randytbird in AZ

[@TheMotoJawn]

Yeah seems like taking more air with the smaller ones but it's cleaner air

[@randytbird6548]

@@TheMotoJawn better for moto logging too. Less wind rumble in my videos

[@psnaa]

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.

[@TheMotoJawn]

I think 9 in non vented would have still had buffeting because of the shape

[@Jrod535]

I’m having he same issues on my 23 Lowrider. I have the 15” and 11” vented. After 75mph the buffeting is out of control. Even after 60mph it’s not comfortable. Might be worth checking out this cafe one, Or going with something completely different. Thanks for the video, it’s great info.

[@TheMotoJawn]

Thanks, yeah you might want to try something smaller or lower

[@richardwoodman6586]

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.

[@TheMotoJawn]

I think it should be there in the screens section

[@anthonymorales24]

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.

[@TheMotoJawn]

I think you'd have to go alot higher or another smaller. Cafe screen is great for me

[@anthonymorales24]

@@TheMotoJawn just ordered the cafe windshield.

[@TheMotoJawn]

@@anthonymorales24 I think you'll like it

[@anthonymorales24]

I picked up the cafe windscreen. Wanted to ask you where did you position your fairing on the bracket? The adjustment for the fairing?

[@aeroe2144]

​@@anthonymorales24 How's that cafe shield working for you? I'm in the same boat as you, same shield 11", same seat, buffeting at 50mph. Thinking of pulling the trigger on the cafe shield. I've tried just about everything as far as adjustments, even made my own vortex generators (for my helmet) to keep airflow from separating, everything has helped but only slightly.

[@NYCZ31]

I've so far tried the 11" and 15" and while the 15" works best between these two. the buffeting with the 11" was awful. 15" gave some buffeting but only above 75mph. I'm 5'9" with a Shoei RF-1400 helmet. I feel like in summertime I should use the cafe screen to keep the air coming in to deal with the heat and get clean air around my helmet.

[@TechNickRides]

Thanks for the review man. I’ve seen tons of videos out there of people comparing all different types of Memphis shaded road warrior fairing windshield size. This topic is all over the place lol. Now yours being the first to mention the cafe style windshield on the RW fairing. May I ask what your height is? 🙂👍

[@TheMotoJawn]

For sure, I'm 5'6

[@robertpenland2429]

Looks better also imo thx for the info .

[@BelleviewBikeBoy]

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.

[@TheMotoJawn]

I bet that one works pretty good too

[@calebdennison5198]

Did you have any issues getting it to line up? I just got this cafe windscreen and it fits, but not perfectly. Taller one I have fits like a glove.

[@TheMotoJawn]

I didn't have any issues

[@dadomoto7491]

How many inches is the cafe windshield

[@remnant.rising]

Will you please let me know what seat that is? Just bought a 22 fxbb and I love the profile of that one. Please let me know. Thank you in advance!!

[@TheMotoJawn]

That's the le pera kick flip basket weave.

[@TheMotoJawn]

I could sell this one I don't use it anymore

[@snjthompson1]

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?

[@TheMotoJawn]

Yeah I think it would work. You would be well above the screen for your head. But wind roved from your chest

[@daryldaryl913]

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?

[@TheMotoJawn]

I think clockworks has some with the lip at the top

[@amg5795]

So how about 11inch with vented ?

[@gergback]

I ended up cutting my 11" down to a 5". Solved the buffeting, but i still get turbulent air, just doesn't rattle my vision anymore. Are you still getting turbulent air with cafe shield? Or is this setup just the most tolerable?

[@TheMotoJawn]

I'm still taking a lot of air but it's as clean as I've been able to get it

[@Kastra707]

Has anyone tried venting the fairing?

[@vince8316]

Is that stock risers and handlebars on your Street Bob?

[@TheMotoJawn]

Yeah that is a stock set up

[@meskism7271]

Cafe eh? I have the Road Warrior 12inch.

[@michaelnowak7150]

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
