windshield deflector...(?)

Post by macvisual »

Whilst riding my Honda Silerwing 600cc maxi-scooter I'm getting quite a bit of wind buffeting on my crash helmet from the standard fitted screen.

Can anyone suggest an aftermarket windshield deflector attachment that could possibly help/cure this problem please...? Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,

I don't know about the fairing extension but I had excellent service from HPS when having a specialist brake disc made for my Pampera.

Plenty of inexpensive ones showing on Ebay.

Personally I would buy a clamp on one, you can then transfer to another bike in the future.

Make one out a bit of perspex / meccano etc before spending any money. If it works, make a close copy of the one you think you will buy to prove it will.

until this year i never really `got it` .. this tall windshield thing .... looking through perspex (as well as the visor), and getting caught out by nasty cross winds? .. in fact i always cut down a tall or medium sized screen, for better vision, especially in wet or foggy weather, and to feel the wind direction and try to understand the buffeting direction? .. i always thought there is more control that way?

My present bike NC750s is almost completely naked (S model is naked, X is fared) apart from a very small bikini faring.
Must admit the buffeting and cold has got to me, with pains in joins and freezing hands and feel, affecting my health to a great degree.

I think, even so, that i would still cut down a tall or medium screen, but maybe so the wind just gets to the chest area. This means wearing a chest protector or something under the jacket to mitigate the wind chill, which is substantial wen u an old person lol .

but this year, having wind problems brought to the fore lol, i must admit i look with envy at the silver wing and maxi scooter ... a thing i long abhorred, wot wiv being a real biker `n all. .... and all that storage too.

(further confessions of a real he-man biker type lol .... i am fancying a cheap 125 or even a cheap ... er ... moped !!!.... just to get to visit family, on the cheap. .... tho the ideal would be a trail bike ... light, cheap, very economical one ???? )
