That is a very good article, Thank you. I'm not certain that a taller top section would solve the problem without testing it. I told Spencer I'd be happy to R+D/test one if he ever has one built. If it works I'd be happy to query the forum for interest. I suspect a nice big vent to allow some air in and up the back side of the windshield would help calm down the Vortex that's causes the shaking. Will report back if I do it. I'll likely try a nice big vent like a Goldwing or similar.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have a half shell, 3/4, and full face helmet and they all do the same thing at higher speeds. I can get some relief by ducking down lower but can't hold that position for long rides. If I hold my hand up between my helmet and the windshield I can feel the pulsing air before it reaches the top of my helmet. I need the pocket about 2 inches higher and I'd be golden. Will try the tubing. Weird how people have such different experiences. I want the baggershield to work out because it looks awesome, just don't want to get beaten on the highway.

I have the taller baggershield, I'm 5'11 with leveling links installed and I look right at the top of the screen. I can sit up and look over or slouch and look through. I like it for most purposes, but not for highway travel. Anything above around 70 mph and it rattles my teeth with buffeting to the point that I'm cussing and fatigued from it. I'm going to have to try a vent install or maybe a wing to raise the pocket. It's a bummer. I asked baggershield (Spencer) if I could get a taller top piece and they can't make custom sizes unless they order like 30 of them from the manufacturer.

I was wondering if it were possible to plug in a blue tooth transmitter to the bike. Anyone heard of such a thing.

I guess if they're known to go bad, I'd be better off getting a Bluetooth set rather than spending $ on a new cable now, and another in the future.

Its the coiled one that connects helmet to bike. I don't think that one on eBay will work. The one I gave that works has a light gray plastic ring with a D on it if it helps.

Does anyone have an old j&m patch cord they're not using anymore? I have a 99 Venture and only one patch cord, the set is original to the bike. I have the second headset for my wife and the system works. The 1 cord that works has a light gray ring on it with the letter "D". I also understand a HC-E will work, but they're like $70 new. Thanks for any help.

My float bowl o rings had the white powdery mineral looking stuff on them also, and it was on both sides indicating that was where I had fuel seeping through. Replaced all four. Also found my needle valves were shot, same residue and dryed out rubber causing cut off cylinders or fuel leaks. Replaced all four and bike runs like a top (after carb synch). Fun learning but long process taking the carbs out about 7 times trying to figure it all out.

Put the tall Baggershield on my 99 Venture a few weeks ago and love it. Very high quality unit. I Recommend.

I emailed DiamondR and Allen said they don't have the deflectors anymore, just the mounts. Will Yamaha is plastic deflectors bolt onto the DiamondR mounts does anyone know? Any other brands that work on them?

Thanks Keith, I like the looks of those. I'm also considering an adjustable set that can be turned inboard in the summer to increase air flow. I'm searching for an affordable set of those before I make a decision. Any experience with them?

Does anyone have a picture of what the lower wind deflectors are supposed to look like? I have the clear plastic attached to the bottom of the ferring that flows with the shape of it, but man, my knees get blasted with wind. It seems like there should be more there to protect your legs.

I took around 8 hours the first time I adjusted mine just recently, including disassembly and reassembly. If a dealer says they can do it in a few hours, I wouldn't trust that it will be very thorough. To really do a good job at getting the valves within spec, not just sort of on the edge one way or the other, takes time. I'm glad I did it, otherwise it wouldn't have been done well guarunteed.

Mine does the same thing. Either all the way out or in, doesn't like the middle area and turns itself off. I just replaced some stuff in my carbs and didn't see anything that would act as an adjuster. Wondering if I have a part missing...

I got a Diamond R on flee bay for $15 ,luckiest guy on earth. It does fold down forward to let the passenger on or to swing your leg over which is very helpful. I had a cheaper$85 nonadjustable one on there and it was terrible. Very hard to bend to get it into the right spot in my lumbar, never succeeded indoing so.
