1 Answers
The following details the pros and cons of adding a windshield to a motorcycle: 1. Benefits: Installing a windshield on a motorcycle helps block wind and can enhance its aesthetic appeal. 2. Drawbacks: During riding, vibrations and shaking of the windshield can impair visibility, increase eye fatigue, and add wind resistance, which negatively impacts power performance and fuel efficiency. In windy conditions, it may also adversely affect the bike's handling, posing significant safety risks. 3. Summary: Motorcycle windshields are not made of glass but rather from lightweight, durable, and easily manufacturable organic synthetic chemical transparent materials. However, their abrasion resistance is average, and they tend to increase wind resistance.
