• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Laminar Lip

Crisis

Hi,
Does anyone have one of these installed on their windshield. I have a Madstad windshield that does a good job eliminating buffeting. This product is suppose to eliminate it almost 100%. Wondering if it works. Feedback please.
Thanks

Not that one....

I do have the MSR windshield and the flip works well even on the sport model. I would think the one you mentiion would work well on the touring shields...:thumbup:
 
I tried one on a previous bike and was NOT impressed.
It ended up restricting and distorting my vision.

Based on ~50 years of riding experience, I don't think it is possible to completely eliminate the "buffeting" in the riders area.

And given my recent experience with my "new" '11 RT in the Florida heat.........I am actually looking for MORE air flow, not less.
 
Vented windshield

I've found that a vented shield really helps with head buffeting. Honda puts a vent in their Goldwing shields and BRP offers a vented shield ( I have one). No head shaking and there is air flow on hot days. After market vents can be installednojoke.

Kaos
 
I used the Laminar Lip on a previous bike for about 6 months but never really found that "sweet spot" that others seemed to experience.

A word of warning though. They do vibrate to the point you wonder if they'll stay put. Mine didn't stay put :sour:, and in a particularly strong wind one day, flew off over my head and ended up in a parking lot across the road.
I retrieved it, stowed it in a top case, and didn't use it again.

I think the only way they will stay put is to attach by drilling and bolting them to the windshield.
 
I had one installed on my F3-S Blue Ridge windshield. I also could not get it to work to eliminate head buffering.
