I'm thinking of fitting one to my +4(2007)
Simmonds make one but fairly expensive.
Are they worth the money and effort?
Views welcome

I remain to be convinced on this. I've ridden in one trad with a windstop plus sidescreens, and it didn't seem any different to mine without windstop. With sidescreens off, I can't imagine how it can make any difference. Mind you, disagreement rages about the effectiveness of wind wings on the front screen. Some say they work. Some say they don't. In the end you pays yer money I suppose. If it keeps SWMBO happy then it's money well spent whether it works as a windstop or not

The problem with this Simmons windstop is not if it works or not.
The problem is it looks realy ugly on a trad'.
(according to my very own personnal taste...)
For me it's strange that people who buy a roadster or a convertible, specialy a trad mog', dont like wind. It's like people who buy a sail boat and don't like water and wind.

(according to my very own personal taste...) I'm with you on this one H3, I don't like them on Aero's either as to me they are a real contradiction on a Morgan.  Just my 2p-worth

Fit aeroscreens then the wind only comes from the front.
