Wind buffering
« on: May 19, 2014, 08:39:29 PM »

Okay ,  got about 400 miles on my limited.     I know my stock windshield is too short and my helmet takes a bashing.  Working on a new windshield. It's about 3 inches too low.   Opinions ?  On replacements.

The other thing is my shirt,  right at top of stomach. ( no beer belly). Takes an azz whopping and leaves red marks on my skin.  Tons of wind coming underneath ??? 

I wear under amour long sleeve shirts that breathe as it's hot here in Texas. 

Anything out there that would help with coming from underneath.

I have a 10" and 12" Freedom Shield. Both are great looking shields and I swap them out for warm/cold weather.

The 10" is dark and the 12" is light tint. The 10" I see over plenty, but I went with the light for the 12" since I could slouch down to avoid the rain and might need to look through it. The 10" in the dark looks great with the red by the way.

Do you have the went open on top of the fairing?

I get no wind buffeting when the vent is open.

I've had them for a few months now and they cut the wind off from coming over-top of the lowers completely. They will re-direct the air out where you can feel it on the outside of your knees. I also run with the lowers opened because there is less air-flow around the motor but I haven't seen any ill effect from their use. They attach real easy with the two bolts on the side passing lamp bracket.
