Re: Windshield noise advice needed
Just been looking at my helmet online (shoei qwest) to see if I can order any accessories for noise and saw “replacement ear pads”. My helmet I’ve had for a few month has a void around the ear which I thought was supposed to be there, turns out it’s not and mine didn’t come with any or has fallen out around the time I bought the bike. 7.99! I just ordered a 70 quid new screen last night
If this fixes it I’m gunna be ****ed off and buzzing at the same time. Might not tell the Mrs though, the screen will look nice |

Re: Windshield noise advice needed
Well.... my ear pads arrived for my helmet, they didn’t make any difference that I noticed, which was a shame because it would have been a lot cheaper.
I bit the bullet and fit the double bubble screen, it’s definitely better, not night and day better but it’s decent. I had a play around with seating positions and arm positions and where I am naturally on a bike is in the best spot noise wise with this screen so it’s good. Also when I look over my shoulder on the motorway my head doesn’t try to unscrew itself as much which was nice. And it looks great in black. Definitely a lot happier anyway |

Re: Windshield noise advice needed
its the qwest.. they are noisy and if you dont get the visor fitting correct you get whistling and buffeting like thumping in your ears. nothing helps but wearing earplugs.

Re: Windshield noise advice needed
I thought they were supposed to be really quiet. The visor seems ok I can’t hear whistling, I’ll have a look and see if I can tighten anything up. The shop fit it all so it should be good. Then again... they missed out the ear pads

Re: Windshield noise advice needed
No amount of messing with screens and helmets is going to lower noise enough to prevent hearing damage. It's earplugs or hearing loss in the long term.

Re: Windshield noise advice needed
Well, problem solved now if anyone stumbles on this in the future. The double bubble screen made a bit of a difference, moulded ear plugs I already had which goes without saying. I went to a helmet dealer and got measured up and my helmet was the correct size but they was concerned a bit with the fit. Bought new pads for 45 quid 2 sizes bigger and voila... noise reduced massively. I still get wind noise and hear traffic but it was a night and day difference. I’m chewing my cheeks a bit but it will relax a bit over time.
The wind goes up my helmet off my jacket, bought a buff neck thingy but it’s too hot for that I don’t like stuff round my neck. I thought the helmet was a good fit to be honest but they could see gaps. Happy days |
