I was surprised how much the plastic on the V-Strom helps. I'd tried 
handlebar mounted windscreens and they can be worse than nothing in gusty 
crosswinds. I've got a BajaWorx on the DR650 that is mostly an extension 
of the little fairing above the headlight. It's not too bad. DOT knobbies 
and a 650 cc thumper don't add to the creature comforts on the freeway 
anyway.

The windshield experiment on the Sportster didn't work well using a 
generic National model I had on the Yamaha.

The first few times on the V-Strom felt a little weird when the bars 
turned but the windshield didn't but it works well.
