F4 Customs vs Madstad

I got the 21 inch and had some issues with turbulence. Had to open the vent to relieve it and at position three works well. Moved up to a 23 inch and less buffeting but still some. Will the air wings help with turbulence?

Unfortunately, turbulence is a relative thing. Some riders hardly notice turbulence even without a screen, while others notice it even with a barn door on the front. Yes, the air wings help reduce turbulence for me. Whether they will reduce it for you is unknown. :thumbup:

I would add that the aerodynamics of the helmet have a lot to do with turbulence. I am at my third gen of the ARAI Corsair and the last one is significantly better from that perspective.

Thanks. Yes, very much relative, but annoying if you feel it. I may add a small spoiler. The MadStad with a larger screen was the only thing that solved my problem on my Yamaha Super Tenere.

Yeah, couldn’t agree more that it is annoying if you feel it, Dale. Unfortunately, with windscreens you can only find out once you put them on. The F4 gives me more protection than the Madstad, and I would imagine the wings would provide even more protection, with the benefit of being able to open them when required. I will indeed be getting a set for my F3-L.

SS, get in contact with Don Frank from F4 Customs.......if anyone has had this issue reported to them and found a fix for it, it would likely be Don.

It looks like you are looking through the screen if that is correct you should change the screen so you are looking over the top of it which is the correct way.
