I noticed since I had my seat redone that my windscreen is about a good 2" higher then I want it, so I have to make the adjustment on Friday before going on the Ride For Dad run.........

[/ot]Now see GB, letting people know about your vices now you have people doing dangerous things like riding with their head in the gap. Next they will be riding and smoking at the same time and talking on the phone, with no helmets on......
Draconarmy, I noticed the same thing (but I actually just put my hand down there) not much wind at all. Actually, I don't know, but I think it might somehow reduce the turbulence , not sure.

- June 09, 2014, 05:08:22 AMso this thread got me thinking the other day and while i was riding on a less populated stretch i stuck my face down near the gap between my ws and the headlight. even at 40mph i felt little to no wind getting through. so unless you just dont like the look inho dont "mind the gap" sorry for that pun.

- June 08, 2014, 18:56:49 PMNo, just talking about a ball cap. without a helmet. I can actually wear a baseball cap, with the bill forward, like I see the dudes on Goldwings.
Disclaimer: I only rarely do not wear a helmet.
