After a few years of its release, we are finally seeing a few windshield options for the CTX naked models:
Of course, there are also a few universal ones
I would like to discuss the pros and cons of each model with those here who have tried them.
I only have experience with the Madstad and here is my take:

I only have experience with the Madstad and here is my take:
PROS:
- Does an excellent job of shielding you from the wind at any speed (I've tried it up to 85mph)
- It is very solid
- It is fully and easily adjustable
- It has a small, optional shield that blocks the wind coming from between the handlebar and the tank (and it works very well).
- It is relatively easy to mount
CONS:
- The hardware is fuuuuuugly!
- The extra shield is very weird looking
- Will not work with risers in most positions (I have risers, but I have them pointing all the way back, not up; and I had to remove the small shield)
- The instructions for adjusting for the best position are completely wrong. Trial and error is the way to go to prevent buffeting and wind noise.
- Email support was non-existent. They only replied when I said "never mind, I found the solution to my problem".
- Most expensive option.
