I agree the mounting hardware is a cash grab, but at least they make multiple wind screens that use the same hardware. I have the 10 inch tinted screen that really looks good and good for around town and short trips. If I'm going a longer distance, I slap on the taller screen and I'm good to go.
I got a National Cycle Deflector screen for my ‘20 Scout Bobber - similar in size and also with a quick disconnect system for short, in town ride. The deflection angle can also be adjusted. Total cost including mount was around $140 US IIRC. I asume they have a similar unit for the Scout. I had similar results as yours as well.
@@Mitchwilmarth The QD mount system mounts to the handlebars. With the windscreen installed or removed, the QD mounts are NOT obtrusive, no detract from the “look”. You can see some pics of my bike with the screen on here: www.indianmotorcycles.net/threads/windscreen.329491/#post-3410475
@@raisingcane225 wow! Thanks for sending this! I just put the same handlebars on my bobber and this looks great! You just saved me a couple $100 from buying the Indian wind deflector!
I did not like the low deflector at all. It looked great, but it was just looks. Mind you, I only had the mid deflector for a very short period of time before I traded in the bike, but I did not notice a wind noise difference with the deflector and without it. In fact, I kept the deflector on the whole time precisely for that reason. I also have a half helmet where my ears are uncovered, so it wasn't just the full face helmet blocking out the noise.
