Wudo Streamline Windshield w/adjustable bracket installed

[blueviewlaguna]

After ordering 2 months ago from Germany, my Wudo Streamline Windshield w/adjustable bracket arrived. I like the bracket mounting method (uses stock fork threaded holes) and its adjustable to allow for a nice angled rake. Its a 2 pc setup that articulates the top shield to account for the tall and far-forward R1200R gauge cluster while allowing the critical 45 degree rake that seems necessary for smooth airflow for the taller windshields. The upper windshield itself has a dome shape (no flip at the end). Looks Original equipment and matches the bike nicely IMO.

The total height from bottom edge over the headlight to top edge is 18".

Test ride after I get over this bronchitis.

Here are a few photos of it at mid-rake adjustment.

I like that. A lot.

Mind telling us what that costs?

395.00 total to my door (including shipping).

I like it also. It looks like I could come up with a GPS mount for the top shield bolts too.. Let us know how it works riding it!

That does look good. Can't wait for the verdict.

To save anyone else the trouble of trying to find that windshield online (unless you read German, it is easy to find) I will post links below.

It really annoys the heck out of me when someone posts info/reviews about a product with no links to it's home or product page. (please do not take it personally laguna)

I don't read German and found/ordered from Wudo just fine using any search engine

I find that a nice ride cures the tendency to become annoyed easily....

A nice ride takes care of all sorts of things.. +1!

Might be the ideal windscreen for the R1200R, with the adjustable rake and OEM appearance. Looking forward to a ride report, and hope you are feeling better soon!

Hey, Laguna.

Wondering if you had a moment to report on the Streamline. You have generated lots of interest, love to hear your thoughts.

Tomorrow is test day for the windsheild! (finally) - I am over my bronchitis and can't wait to ride this weekend.....

[Paul]

Yes, that does looks really good.
Can you show some pics of the whole bike with it?

[Tom B]

That looks very promising -- good luck with the test ride(s)!

I finally was able to give the Wudo windshield a good test both with and without a passenger.

At the mid-position in my photos:

1/ Buffeting - none that I could detect, the airflow starts at visor level on my helmet (29" inseam, low seat) and maintains the same smooth pattern regardless of speed (no buffet speed zones), I was trying to hit my usual 70 mph when merging onto the freeway and saw 90 mph instead without trying. There is no chest air, just the smooth helmet air. I would say it's about 50% less perceived overall wind pressure compared to the "tall" BMW windshield. With 2-up riding, my passenger was amazed at how relaxed 80 mph cruising was (she commented that the "air feels very 'soft' now").

It seems that the two shield arrangement is designed to have the smaller shield direct a certain amount of airflow underneath the main shield and smooth the airflow - I even found a long bug streak on the INSIDE of the main shield, so the flow must be significant behind it.

2/ Zero "light-pipe" effect for the top shield since the small bottom shield is not connected to the main top one.

3/ Extremely stable in cross-wind since the fork is not being loaded by a large "sail", yet the Wudo is large enough to prevent the cross-winds from pushing my body around (which I have a low tolerance for). By far the most stable I have felt on this bike over mountain passes during cross-wind conditions.

4/ The original "light and maneuverable" steering feel is back (lost some of it with the Cee-Bailey 20").

5/ Brackets are aluminum and well made, windshield was excellent optical quality. The installation still looks terrific IMO.

On a side note, the hardware is lightweight aluminum and will bend out of your way if you are unfortunate enough to crash and go over it - the BMW bracket looks a bit solid and painful in this regard.

For me, this Wudo setup has transformed the bike and solved a long-standing windshield problem.

Thank you for taking the time to share. I think you have made an excellent choice with a very well designed product. Just added this to my xmas list

Hi laguna,
how tall are you?
Did you also have the cee-bailey 20"? Is the Wudo better?
Thankyou

Will the first 6-footer who tries this shield out please PM me with the results.

Or public feedback, please. This 6+ footer is curious, too.

[blueviewlaguna]

I am 5' 8", with a 29" inseam, and the bike has a low seat. I have not tried it on the highest (furthest forward) position yet - I have tilted it a bit more forward than the OP photos and no buffeting yet.
