A little different windshield config

[dannymax]

The PO included the OEM shield when I bought my :ani29: so I thought I'd give it a try. I ran the Laminar Lip on a couple 2-wheelers so I added that and kinda like the results. There is no chest wind and no 'burbling' that I got with the GIVI sport touring shield that was on. Went on a 100 mi. slab run yesterday at 65 - 75 mph and expected my neck to be sore from fighting the wind, but it wasn't at all....the wind hits the top of my helmet only....it's a pretty nice set-up.

Despite the fact that's it a bit wierd looking......:yikes:

:2thumbs: Looks good!

Not bad..I was on I-90 yesterday, and at 75mph, it wasnt too bad..The issue i have is wind noise....its brutal.

Glad to hear that it has solved the buffeting issue for you! :thumbup:

There's still quite a bit of wind noise but much reduced pounding from the turbulence....still need ear plugs tho at those speeds, but a short ice cream run....probly could go with the naked ear! :yikes:

Rob....I'm pretty sure 8 or 10 boxes of ice cream would fit in the frunk....maybe mod up a little 12v refrig. unit, some insulation, box of spoons.....:thumbup: hyea:

If you refrigerate the frunk, you'll need to trade it in for an RT and turn the top trunk into a beer 'fridge to complement the front ice cream bar... :thumbup:

I, myself, don't imbibe....but I bet I'd have lots of friends who would help me lighten the load....:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

Sometimes it's the helmet , In the winter, or when I'm on my two wheeler i use a full face modular helmet,
On the Trike i use a 3/4 with a shield, The 3/4 at 80 mph is quiet compared to the modular at just 60mph.!

I have a 3/4 Shoei from back in the day and it's louder than my full face....the Shoei doesn't have a shield but does have a tiny smoke sun visor....I wonder if that contributes to the noise? :dontknow:

Or maybe it's just my ears getting old and worn out....come to think of it my wife is saying I don't seem to hear her as well as I used to........gee honey, how could that possibly be?? :shocked:

I've got a HJC modular. Never used a 3/4 so I have nothing to compare my HJC to.

Danny, u could dress up like a clown and serve ice cream to kids...

Hmmm....that's got some promise Rob, wouldn't want to bring home a bunch of melted ice cream so I'd have to do something with it.....eating it springs to mind!! :2thumbs:

Just a little iffy on the clown suit! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[Bob Denman]

How about if you just don't wear the big red nose??? :thumbup:

I gonna say thats all he needs to complete the outfitt:roflblack:


Might have to put the clown shoes in the frunk tho..wouldnt be a safe ride with em on. Would they even fit in the frunk? Could get a trailer to put the shoes in, and carry more ice cream:2thumbs:

 

[dannymax]

Ta be honest with ya, think I'll pass on the clown suit altogether....I really don't want the ghost of John Wayne Gacey coming after me......:yikes::yikes::yikes:

No good :cus: that he was!! :shocked: :gaah:

But a trailer for more ice cream has some real promise....what's the towing capacity of a RS again?? 35 - 40 half gallons?? Yeah! hyea:hyea:hyea:

 

[mowin]

45 half gals.....thats a weeks worth anyway:roflblack:

:agree:. That's why I ride with foam ear plugs or MP3 player and ear buds all the time. No more wind noise and is very quiet. Even with the pipes.

 

[dannymax]

I wear ear plugs also, the yellow ribbed ones which work pretty well. Think I need to get familiar with some sort of music device tho, a little Pink Floyd in the background would make the ride so much nicer! :2thumbs:
