       The KTM touring wind screen works well.  But it would depend on
       your height.  I'm 5'7".  I start to feel the wind really push on
       me at about 80mph, but don't get any significant lift or
       buffetting on my Arai XD-4 helmet.  My usual highway cruising
       speed is 70-75 mph.  I've seen other posts of folks mounting
       wind screens which would look at home on a cruiser not a dual
       sport (really ugly) and probably work like you are sitting
       behind the windshield of convertible car.  The Lynx R fairing by
       www.britanniacomposites.com is one I'm considering.  It also
       gives the option to improve the head light and doesn't look out
       of place.

       Wind? Riding a 690 down the freeway at +80mph is like the
       shuttle re entering earths atmosphere. It's a give and take
       situation. Up to about 70mph, ain't no thang. Beyond that, it's
       a losing situation as far as comfort goes. That's why I don't
       push it unless it's necessary. It's a dirt bike on the freeway,
       whatt'd ya think, u were driving a Cadillac? And yeah, those
       taller rally style windshields are gross. 😝

       It'll get better the more you do it. The first time I hit 70 and
       up it scared the crap out of me. Especially with a dual sport
       helmet with visor,  the wind was pulling my head all over. But
       now short sprints down the interstate isn't nearly as bad. But I
       don't ride any real miles on the highway, so long distance could
       be a pain.

       I can also vouch for the KTM windscreen, it is the cheapest at
       about $65 US and does a good job; it also is small enough to
       stay out of the way offroad.  Before I had the windshield riding
       at speed at 20F was no fun at all!  Cold wind right to the
       chest.
