Where is the wind on my legs coming from?

[TONI]

I've noticed alot of wind on my legs - where is it coming from? Seems like when I'm riding and put my left hand down there's alot of wind coming up from the road up to my hand & arms. Somehow seems to also contribute to upper body buffeting. Is this normal or are there any wind deflectors that would stop this?

scroll down to the windshutters. Good news: they widen the "calm" envelope and block the wind coming up from below/around the windscreen. Bad news: they make it a little toasty during warm days. Really best suited for cool/cold weather.:thumbup:

The wind on your thighs appears to ride up the body, under the notch on the cowl, and nail you. This has evidently been noticed by others, since Marcel now offers his F1 deflectors and BRP has included them with their new Ultra Touring Windshields (if they ever are released). Your hand test is as good as any. I suspect the wind flowing up the Spyder body may well add to the rider's upper body wind, but that airflow is greatly reduced with our CHAD windshield, while the wind on the thighs remains strong. The hands are better, though.

F1 windshutters

From their pix it looks like they have to attach to the F1 windshield; is that correct or can they be mounted regardless of which shield you have?

I thought the F1 windshutters mounted separate from the windshield and could be used with any windshield. I am not certain of that and they may have changed the design from when I first saw them. :dontknow:

They mount separate from the windshields. One point on the body panel bolt, below and just behind the mirror stalk; and the second, between the gap in the mirror stalk itself.
