1 Answers
Here is a detailed introduction to the pros and cons of adding a windshield to a motorcycle: Advantages: Installing a windshield on a motorcycle helps block wind, and some designs can enhance the bike's aesthetics. Disadvantages: During riding, the vibration and shaking of the windshield can negatively affect visibility, increase eye fatigue, and add wind resistance, which is detrimental to both power performance and fuel efficiency. In windy conditions, it may also adversely impact the bike's handling, posing significant safety risks. Summary: Motorcycle windshields are not made of glass but rather a lightweight, durable, and easily manufactured synthetic chemical transparent material. The downside is that its wear resistance is average, and it tends to increase wind resistance.
