Does anyone have any experience with windshield spoilers? Are they effective in eliminating buffering?

Other than the fact that they look goofy and cost an arm and a leg, I couldn't tell you.

That could be the answer on some of the bigger scooters.
The majesty I have has the windshield mount at the wrong angle (tips back too far) and that might work just fine on that one. On the smaller 150cc scooters with a thin wiggly windshield I can't see that item being helpful at all.

I found 1 on e bay for 30.00 less free shipping I feel because I sit way above my windshield it may help with the wind on my body at speeds above 40 MPH I have a Zodiac it just might help in my case. I also watch a person in Germany and it did help him on the test.

The windshield on my piaggio is far better than that of the Geezer I used to own but still could use sone improvement. A 15 minute ride on my Geezer at speeds over 45 guaranteed me a massive headache. It was actually better with the windscreen removed.

I had a tall givi for the majesty, I cut it off just over the dash and it was 100% better than the stock window. What the idiots at yamaha did is to set the angle of it back way too far for looks. it was fine for a short person riding but totally wrong for an over 6' rider.
