And it works fantastic. So much better. The wind buffeting is way down and is actually comfortable to ride at any speed. The guys over there are awesome to work with. I called them back and chatted a bit about the issues I was having with the wind. Lief started making some suggestions to figure out what might work.
So I went with some of his suggestions and here are the mock up's (don't laugh ti works lol). Used some of that poster board my kids use for projects. Works really well and actually this stayed on even after multiple 75mph passes.
I also tried this as well and it worked surprisingly well.
Measurements were taken from both, gave them feedback and Robbie designed this for me:
It works very well. We didn't do a euro flip on this one, we sit so far back from the screen (at least I do) that it ends up creating turbulence as the wind gets thrown up, mixed with clean air and then slammed back down right on top of my head. So i wanted to smooth the airflow over the screen so it's a better transition from the screen to the cleaner air higher up.
Overall very happy. I think I'm gonna get the little Honda side wings too trim some of the air coming around the tank and should be perfect, all though it's really good where it is now!
Thanks to Robbie and Lief over Gustaffen! We traded pics, did some FaceTime to see the drawings and they custom made everything for me. Really cool folks.

I was just kidding you! You're right the Honda tall screen is so wrong. To tell you the honest truth, I wish we didn't need a windscreen. The Valkyrie looks so cool and natural without! It is what it is!
My first thought was "Which scooter did that come off of, a Silverwing?" It doesn't seem to match the bike to me.Can you say, "Pushing a Barn Window down the road?"

I guess anything is more functional than that quarter screen. Although an OEM full windshield functions fine and to me looks far more natural and matched to the bike. Once again, just a matter of personal style I guess.
PhantomX,
thanks for sharing your photo's on windshield. With your earlier post on the 18"windshield I'm learning what size windshield to go with.
I do believe your set up does look better than the Honda Tall W/S that has the two big rectangle chrome plates.
Thanks again
