I get it -- windscreen
08/29/26 7:44 PM

I'm typically OK with stock windscreens and wondered why everyone seems to install a different windscreen on their ZX-14R. Well, now I know. I think. I haven't had much time with my new-to-me 2022, but today I was able to get some highway time and up to "normal" speeds the stock windscreen seems fine. But after a couple quick pulls to ... fun speeds ... I realize you can't tuck down far enough (especially with a tank bag) to get out of that wind blast. So now I get it -- and need to get one. Any recommendations for a windscreen that doesn't block everything like a barn door (I live in hot South Texas so need that wind) but pulls it up over the helmet when tucked down against a tank bag at ... ahem ... inspiring speeds?

I've always gone for the low swept stocker. The limitation on my Gen1 seemed to be the seat. If I really flattened down, I found my ass was up on the tail fairing. The Gen2 feels better. Still, I'd go with a carved out seat to give me a few more inches of tuck.

I prefer stock screens but on this bike I may make an exception since it's so easy to reach those fun speeds where I realize I better get tucked down. If I didn't use a tank bag it probably wouldn't be much of an issue but I find tank bags just too convenient to not use.
