Wind Deflector
Available in: Clear or Tinted
The biggest issue with many original
windshields is that the airflow break-away edge can not be individually
defined, and the resulting turbulence. We carefully studied and then
optimized and noticeably improved the SAENG airflow principles with this
part. (See further below)
Suggestion: If you are otherwise
pleased with the height, width and proportions of your existing
windshield, but nonetheless are bothered by annoying turbulence, then
this adjustable spoiler may be just the answer.
Facts:
- Adjustable wind spoiler. (Angle, height and distance from the rider)
- Optimal relief for the helmet and upper body
- Eliminates turbulences and corrects oncoming airflow.
- Easy to adjust
- Quick and easy installation / removal.
- Sturdy mounting system
- Weight optimized, machined holding mechanism
- Anodized Dural aluminum
- Shatterproof Lexan shield
- Tested and approved by the German safety authority, TÜV
- Dimensions of the deflector: 9" wide and at the maximum, 3" tall
The story about windshield extensions:
The
American company SAENG is a pioneer in windshield extensions and the
function principles have by now been adopted by many companies
world-wide. We began experimenting and conducting practical testing with
the SAENG windshield extensions over 10 years ago. Unfortunately, the
product did not then meet the German demands of effectiveness,
high-speed stability and neutral handling. Now we have readdressed this
concept and developed a part that provides stability far beyond what is
actually required. Additionally, this part offers new dimensions of
adjustability and features an aerodynamically optimized and optically
dynamic screen that provides a very noticeable relief from turbulence
and wind pressure.
This universal attachment system will allow
fitment to virtually and motorcycle windshield. The quality of design
and workmanship is truly impressive!
Should you need just the
clear or tinted deflector as a replacement for any reason, please see
the link under the Related Products tab.
It is advisable to secure the fixing and adjustment screws with thread locking fluid to avoid loosening while riding. You'll also find that under the Related Products tab.
F800 GS Owners please note: If your bike is equipped with the original factory wind screen, this part will not fit your windshield properly due to the *V* shape at the top of the screen. Unless you have installed an aftermarket windscreen on your bike, the wind deflector is not recommended for the F800 GS.

I have owned 5 BMW GS bikes since 1988 and my latest is a 2018 GSA Rallye. Only 1 of the 5 (the 1988) was free of wind buffeting at highway speeds with the stock windscreen. I have tried nearly every windscreen solution on previous bikes without much success. While I was skeptical about such a small wind deflector making a difference on the 2018, I ordered the mid sized unit and it is brilliant! No buffeting...100% gone. Winds reaches the top of the helmet and I still have airflow on the shoulders. If I want more air on the helmet, I just lower the screen. The screen doesn't seem to need supports...very little vibration even above legal speeds. I am 5'10" but with a 30" inseam and a long torso.

The products from Wunderlich match the quality of OEM parts. I purchased the Touring Screen R1200 R LC (Part Number: 30450101). The product is made very well, performs great, and looks like an original part. The windshield blocks the wind to my shoulders. I could feel turbulence at the face level, which I wanted to eliminate. I added the Wind Deflector, and the noise and turbulence are all gone. I am still stopping often to make adjustments, to find the best angle/height combination. Based on the performance, quality of manufacturing, adjustment flexibility, and the option to select the Version that looks best for your bike, I am highly recommending this product.

I bought this last year for my BMW F800GT. The sport bike windshield they put on this bike is absurdly low, and the wind and bugs hit me (5' 10") square at the bottom of my face shield. The buffeting was really loud and fatiguing. This deflector eliminated all of that and puts the airflow just over the top of my helmet. There is a lot of adjustment to this deflector that takes some experimentation to get to the optimum position for your height and riding position, but it's easy to do on a ride or two if you bring the tool with you. At last, quiet and smooth air! I read the reviews about cracking windshields during installation, and I can see why that would be. However, I used blue thread lock on all the mount screws, and turned them hand tight. I've never had anything come lose or change position, and no cracking. I really don't know why these deflectors don't come standard on a lot of bikes, especially this one since BMW didn't see fit to give us any adjustability. I considered an after-market windshield for the bike, but they are much more expensive, and you still don't know if it's going to fix the problem until after you've installed it. Many manufacturers won't let you return a windshield after it's been installed, so I really think this deflector is the best way to go; and you can adjust it!! Very high quality and easy to install. The mount on mine is the satin silver color, and it can reflect the sun light in some cases, so you may want to think about that. Otherwise, this is a very nicely made product.
