Yep. Cut it off. Making it bigger is a waste of time.

It looks like your display is on the right side and not in the middle?

Yes. This is a prototype TFT adaptor that moves it to the right so my GPS can be mounted next to it. I'm working with the company making them. The part comes with all hardware needed to mount the TFT and a Garmin Zumo. They claim they're a week or 2 away from offering them for sale.

They claim to be also making a version that has the TFT in center like normal and GPS on top. Also different GPS options.

Just to add to the mix of options, I purchased a UNIT Garage Edi Touring windscreen and took a ~20 mile ride with it yesterday. I’m 5’7” with a short inseam and longer torso. The major issue I was hoping to address was the freeway-speed wind on my arms and shoulders. I did not have any issues with buffeting (I have a KRIOS PRO HELMET).

The positives: fixed wind on arms/shoulders, easy install, seems good quality, looks decent.

The negative: may have added some buffeting.

Looking for an OEM windscreen. Anyone have one they would like to get rid of?

I believe I have the OEM, touring OEM, and third party.

Would you sell the OEM Windscreen?

 

[DESERTXATL]

Would you sell the OEM Windscreen?

I actually like the OEM version, but if you're interested in the touring version it's just sitting in my garage. If you want it, $50?

I'd be interested if DSXRT isn't.

I'll take pictures and upload them.

Haven't tested yet as its pouring rain today but I have high hopes. I made a bracket on each side to tilt the windscreen back approx 1" to allow air to flow under the screen as well the air not hitting a almost flat surface. I did the same thing with my Multistrada which completely solved the wind issues it had. That bike is dead quiet behind the screen now at highway speeds. I'll report back if it helps at all. I have a short screen which helps but wanted to see if this some what resolves the wind roar.

I know I have to say this cause someone will chime in ...... obviously I'll get proper black bolts and paint the aluminum black to match if it works

Are those side deflectors worth it?

 

[stilly1974]

Are those side deflectors worth it?

Honestly I can't remember what kind of difference they made. I installed them 2 days after purchasing the bike which was last September. They're cheap so thought I'd try them

 

[RFVC600R]

They take the pressure off your upper body but your head still going to get shaken around with the stock windshield. I like them

How did your experiment turn out? It looks like what I was considering based on the design of my BMW RT.

Unfortunately did absolutely nothing. Couldn't feel a difference at all. Guess I'm sticking with a lower windscreen and ear plugs

I'm curious if Ducati did any wind tunnel testing or did, they not care since they focused more on the design and old Cagiva styling.

I would highly doubt they did any testing at all. All about the looks I'm guessing. I never bought the bike to be a highway cruiser but unfortunately I do have to travel about 45 min to an hour to get to the offroad areas we have. In stock form it isn't to bad for my height but there's always room for improvement. I think the combination of a vertical windscreen and it being so far away from the rider is the biggest issues with wind buffering. Personally I don't get a lot of buffering but the wind roar is pretty bad. At least with a shorter windscreen the transition from sitting and standing is about the same for wind roar
