How to choose a windshield for a motorbike?

Choosing the right windshield for a motorbike is an important decision that can impact your comfort and safety while riding. A motorcycle windshield is one of the most important parts responsible for a rider´s security. Motorcycle windshields are mostly utilized to stop the high pressure of air hitting the rider while driving, and save the rider from rain and dirt.
Here are some factors to consider when choosing a windshield:

The size of the windshield should be appropriate for your height and riding position. A windshield that is too tall or too short can cause discomfort or turbulence while riding. Measure your seated height on the motorcycle and choose a windshield that extends just above your line of sight.
Windshields can be mounted using various methods, such as fork mounted, handlebar mounted, or fairing mounted. Consider the mounting style of your motorcycle and choose a windshield that is compatible.

Choose the laminated glass windshield because it contains a dual coating of glass sheets and is also known as safety glass. This windshield can keep the rider safe from high wind, and in case of an accident, it does not shatter and fall on the rider. A laminated glass windshield can also save the rider from harsh sun rays.
Before you decide which kind of glass you desire for your windshield, keep in mind the weather conditions of your area and choose according to your needs. A windshield that is too tall or too short can affect your visibility in different weather conditions. Look for windshields with a design that can be adjusted or replaced according to weather conditions.
Try to choose the motorcycle windshield that comes with some type of warranty or guarantee from the company. Most laminated glass windshield manufacturers present a money back warranty in the possibility of damage within the time of warranty. The warranty by the factory indicates they will not need to pay for repairs within the warranty period in case there is an issue with your windshield.
Choose a reputable brand with a good reputation for quality and reliability. Higher quality windshields may cost more upfront but can provide better performance, longer life, and better safety on the road.
The brands that offer windshields are Givi, Puig, Sw motech, and Rizoma.
