Doink Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Afternoon people.I've got myself a 125 Honda Varadero and as part of my commute ride it at around 70mph for a fair few miles on an A road, it can get a bit blustery with wind buffering me as I'm pretty broad shouldered and I was thinking of getting a taller screen to help combat this.Now, my question is, will this help?They're about 70 odd quid so don't really want to shell out if it's going to make bugger all difference.

Tango Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 You probably won't know until it's on the bike. Problem with some of them is that they direct the airflow up from your chest to head height.......so the turbulence then buffets your lid, which is even more annoying...... I test rode a Tiger 800 a couple of years back and the screen did exactly that......was really annoying after a short while..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doink Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 This is what I'm worried about, I suppose that's always gonna be the issue with tourer style bikes though.All the screens I've seen are about 20cm higher than standard, which doesn't seem that much more to me to make a big difference.

Tango Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 The shape of the screen also affects how the airflow is deflected.......so it's hard to say what the effect would be until you try it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
