Cruiser windshields help keep you protected from the wind and rain. Long distance riding on the highway can cause fatigue over time. No one likes getting pelted with 55 mph wind for hours on end. A cruiser windscreen can help you ride longer by diverting air so you don't get the full brunt. Tall windshields can put you in a clean pocket of air that can even help keep you drier when it rains. Shorter windscreens don't detract from the aesthetics of a motorcycle, but they don't function as well as a taller option. Install a new windshield onto your cruiser to feel refreshed even after riding all day on the slab.
