IF possible may I be added to the small screens as well? Read my observations below and please chime in...thanks.
I have wind noise I am dealing with. Been reading quite a bit about earplugs and noise canceling headphones (nothing that fits in helmet so far). Here is what I did today.....
1. bought and tried 2 different styles of earplugs from 3M. Regular foam and a pleated kind on a string. Hard to get the foam just right and the others fit and blocked out most of the outside noise.....but still had the low rumble and can not hear my surroundings.
2. While riding on a back road I decided to put the screen all the way down and actually stand up a little on the pegs and noticed the low range noise totally gone! Still had the lighter regular wind but no buffeting.
3. Did same experiment without any earplugs and same thing.....stood up a little and no low buffeting just regular wind!
4. For got to mention with the shield all the way up it pulls me forward.
5. with screen all the way up and just ducking a little it actually is totally quiet, that is why I was thinking of a slightly larger shield or at least one that relieves the back pressure.
The wife was asking me if I had this on the Vmax and I did not remember the low tones at all....now I know it is the shield!
Now the questions:
Anyone actually use a smaller shield and get rid of the buffeting?
How about using a small set of washers under the shield to lift it up a little more to get more wind inside the shield to lower pressure?
Now that I know it is a matter of testing aftermarket shields I guess........thoughts on trying the small shields also?
