    Clean the air

    Sunday, July 8th, 2007

    The combination between the windscreen height and my riding position it’s not a winning one. All the turbulence hits me right in the helmet creating a lot of noise in the process. If I lower or raise my head 15 or 20 cm all the noise is gone.

    The best solution would be to change the windscreen with a taller one (or add a laminar lip), but the cheap solution is to cut down the current windscreen 🙂

    The only problem with cutting the screen is that the smaller the screen the less protection it provides from water for the dashboard instruments.

    As a first step I’ve cut about 5 cm ,I’ll test it next week and see if there is any improvement.

    Len helped me with the plexi cutter. Thanks.

    As good as a brand new Africa Twin:
