AeroFlow vs Cee Bailey

[Smith]

Has anyone compared these two windshields. is the AeroFlow worth the extra price?

IIRC, Grif is the only one that has owned both. PM him if he doesn't reply here.

As for my opinion...I think the AeroFlow is just too butt-ugly to install on my LT. But I hear the functionality is wonderful.

I have the aero-flow and find that it does a very good job in the "wind" department for both myself and passenger. But I agree that it is the ugliest thing I have ever put on a motorcycle.
And---you have to learn not to look through the bottom 50% of the screen because the distortion is significant.
I will be purchasing another shield (make unknown as of yet) so that I have the option to switch but I will keep the aero-flow for two-up riding.

Try a quick search here for Aeroflow and you'll get lost of useful information. Some people love the Aeroflow, some hate it. Put me in the latter category, as the distortion was so bad that I removed the windshield after 100 miles and sold it on to someone else.

In contrast, I've been very happy with my Cee Bailey's windshield for many thousands of miles, and my wife also noticed an improvement from her vantage point.

I have had both. The Aeroflow is uggly! But of real concern is the fact that because of is lard area, the wind resistance is increased causing alot of buffeting. Makes the bike very hard to feel comfortable with in windy situations. It also is very distorting on looking through.

The Cee Baileys screen is very clear. The wind resistance is not nearly the same as the Aeroflow. I like the CeeBailey's but remember it is an acrylic screen and I can tell you from experience, if it breaks and you are close, look out........It goes in big sharp chunks....like flying razors.

Which do I perfer...CeeBailey's.

Both are good and work good, but installation and removal of the Aeroflow is a PITA because of the having to line up the inner piece, not to mention dropping buffer washers. Cleaning can also be an issue if you're into that.

Ugly? Function over form in my leetle world.

What Grif says! I've been riding behind the Fugly Aeroflow for about 3 years now and have no complaints about the function. Especially for our two up riding. Of course I've not had a chance to really compare it to anything but the standard (tall) BMW windscreen that came on our 2000.

I have own both, well I had a Cee Baileys, never got to use it, as it was warped.

Areoflow, not that ugly. I guess, it is in the eye of the beholder, or something like that. Like so far, and I look over the shield not through it.

I have owned both. Aeroflow for about 30k currently Cee Bailey -2 for about 25k. Aeroflow gives better protection and less turbulence on arms and shoulders but Cee Bailey does significantly better at the helmet. Both are MUCH better than stock which I used for about 30k. I'll stick with the Cee Bailey.
