How do you change the battery on a smoke alarm without it chirping or alarming? It is also very difficult to close the battery cover after installing it. It starts chirping when the battery is low I guess. Mine are hard wired also I think. Please advise. Thanks,
a windshield will not help anything if you have a full face helmet, especially at that speed go without also it will make the vents built into the helmet much less effective (less air going to the helmetless air going through the vents)
Of course a windshield will aid in your riding comfort. I ride two different motorcycles. 2003 Kawasaki KLR 650 Dual-Sport and a 2001 Honda Goldwing. Majority of my riding is to and from work. That fits the 45 mph or less criteria. I always wear a full face helmet. My comments below are in regard to your question. Hands down I prefer to ride my Goldwing. The comfort from the windshield and fairing just can't be beat. Much more comfortable to ride. I can ride all summer with the face shield up. I for one do not enjoy the naked bike wind in your hair style of riding. When I ride the 650, I have to keep the face shield down. Why you ask? Well no matter which helmet I wear I have to put up with a whistling noise from the air hitting the bottom of the open shield. As soon as the shield is down, whistling goes away. I always wear hearing protection while on the 650. Hearing protection is only needed on longer trips with the Goldwing. I have to wear warmer riding gear when riding the 650. I will be looking for a different cycle to use in place of the 650 mostly due to the lack of windshield. But I continue to ride the 650 for the following reasons. Gas mileage: 53 mpg vs. 36 mpg Tires: Rear 650 tire that I can change myself around $85 vs $180 plus around $30 for mounting and balancing for the Wing. Fun: Around town the 650 is a lot of fun. Long travel suspension is great for the beat up roads I ride on each day. Costs: I bought 650 for about $3,000. It is easy to work on and cheap to plate and insure. Do yourself and buy a bike with a windshield. If anything it will keep the bugs off your riding gear. Good Luck

You will know pretty soon if the wind is wearing on You. Even a small shield can take a lot of strain off Your arms and upper body.
Nobody here has ever been on a bike apparently. Of course a windshield will have an effect at 45 m.p.h. Yes it is cool and all that to feel the wind on you going down the road, but riding a bike with a windshield for an extended period of time is much less fatiguing than riding one without
