Fog City would stop it as well... Horses for courses this, some people prefer pinlock but the fitting method's a bit offputting for others.

And double bubbles make a big difference, if you get the right one- they all move the wind somewhere else, problem is that sometimes they can make it worse as the windblast ends up pointing right at your face :rolleyes: I love my fabbri, makes things comfy at rather criminal speeds...

I expected it to be wind free.....was only doing 70 and wheather was good.
I had to lie down flat on tank to get out of the wind....is this just how it goes....dont feel very in control of the bike when lied down peering over the screen like that.......... or will one of them double bubble screens allow me not to look like im impersinating rossi on the slow lane of motorway.

cheers

Youre not in a car/BMWC1. You have minmal protection around you, you are wearing waterproof clothing...you are out in the elements...what do you expect ;) Try windblast at the very wrong side of 150mph, thats a blast. You steer with your elbows in the airflow

It will fit any lid. You will need to drill, yes drill a couple of holes in your visor for the pins to fit. You should get a template. If thats not your thing, then a fog city as advised elsewhere

Re: wind blast on motorway

i have a aftermarket screen......not sure what its called, but it kicks up at the top so the wind goes over your head, although im tempted to get a DB just not sure if there will be any differance?
