Amazing Resource For Solving Buffetitis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reducing Buffeting and\/or Improving Noise, Wind, and Weather Protection on a BMW R1100GS or a R1150GS<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.advrider.com\/<\/a> – April 2002<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many BMW R11GS riders find the performance of the factory windscreen unsatisfactory.\u00a0 Several replacement windscreens exist and are presented here.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Before selecting a replacement windscreen, there are some factors and products that may be worth exploring prior to replacing or modifying a windscreen:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Helmet<\/p>\n

Fit and construction can reduce wind noise.\u00a0 Some designs are less susceptible to buffeting than others.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tank Panniers<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tank panniers have been reported to reduce buffeting by affecting wind flow beneath the windscreen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Saeng Stealth Edging\u0099<\/p>\n

Stealth Edging\u0099<\/a> has been reported by some to help.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Windscreen Wings\/Spoilers<\/p>\n

Wings and spoilers such as the Saeng Winglets\u0099<\/a>, Touratech Windscreen spoiler R1150GS<\/a>, or Boxer Design Draft Deflector<\/a> can be used to \u0093tune\u0094 wind flow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Seat Height<\/p>\n

Adjusting the seat height can occasionally change your forward profile sufficiently to be effective.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Factory Windscreen<\/p>\n

The angle of the factory windscreen can be adjusted and it can be removed.\u00a0 Other adjustments that have been attempted include cutting down the factory windscreen and modifications allowing sharper windscreen angles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Protecting a Windscreen<\/p>\n

Many windscreens may be too big or fragile for heavy off-road use.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since the GS has a full swing steering column with wide handlebars, some handlebar protectors (BMW, Acerbee, Touratech) extend out far enough that they actually hit the screen when at an extreme position. Under normal circumstances the handlebars will not move this much however a crash result in a broken a windscreen or worse.\u00a0\u00a0 A fork stop such as the Toutatech unit can prevent this and possibly a broken steering lock.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Member comments are subjective and may represent a small sample of those using a product.\u00a0 Attempts were made to include representative opposing comments.\u00a0 Product costs are typically MSRP.<\/p>\n

Killen<\/a><\/td>\n6\u0092 3\u0094<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\u0093…but it works. I’m 6’3″ and solved the turbulance and noise problem the hard way. First I didn’t know about this site so I was on my own. I bought the 22″ Parabellum and loved the clarity but it did not resolve the turbulance. So I went to the Aeroflow and solved the problem(s). The Aeroflow also allows you to mount your aux lights on the hardware.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
cmunger<\/a><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\u0093I have two GSs. One has a Parrabellum and the other an Air Flow. Like the AF because it keeps a good deal of wind off me and can hang the PIAA running lights from the frame. Like the Pb because it is large enough to keep a lot of wind off me and yet minimalist enough to allow more air from the bottom side. Have to use a light bar to hang the PIAAs on though. Put 20k on each unit and prefer the Pb in the summer and the AF in the winter. Seasonal comfort is what I’m looking for if possible. AF is harder to clean because of it being two-piece.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

drholm<\/a><\/td>\n6\u0092 6\u0094<\/td>\n36\u0094<\/td>\n\u0093I spent the better part of one morning with the Givi in every position and the only change was at what speed it became unbearable. I’m 6’6″ and I run the seat at the high position to generate a little more leg room. I have thought about pulling the screen entirely and when I stand on the pegs everything smooths out.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
moon<\/a><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\u0093my Givi works well enough for me. I’m mostly concerned about keeping the wind from blowing my head back. If my arms and shoulders get hit with wind, so what.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Marc<\/a><\/td>\n6\u0092 6\u0094<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\u0093Position 1 (lowest). Smoooooth air flow at low and medium speeds. Feels great. It’s about 80 deg. F here and life is good. I did notice that the Acerbis hand shield on the right side contacts the windshield when full-lock left. About 75 MPH, you start to get some buffeting.<\/p>\n

Position 2 (middle). Airflow isn’t as smooth as Position 1 at low and middle speeds, but above 70 MPH, it’s way smoother. No contact problems with bars or front cover.<\/p>\n

Position 3 (highest). Feels like you’re riding in dead air up to about 50. Wow. However, at speeds greater than 60, I started to feel significant buffeting. Above 80 MPH, I felt like someone was kicking my head! When I stopped, I noticed that the leading (lowest) edge of the windscreen was contacting the front instrument cover and ackchooly wore off some paint! Hmmmm….\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

frisbee<\/a><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\u00a0\u0093just traded the Wunderlich (which did not do much) to a more comfortable parabellum 23 inches high. Its a little like being in a fishbowl but good protection.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
John Fallon<\/a><\/td>\n6\u0092<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\u0093Tried the Parabellum, below 60MPH fine. above that weird wind vibration on the top of the helmet. Parabellum is real good about returns.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mario<\/a><\/td>\n6\u0092 2\u0094<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\u0093I am 6′ 2″ and bought the tall Parabellum. I noticed a really goofy thumping on the top of my head when going over 70.\u00a0 I also noticed that the windshield bends a bit when going at higher speeds, about an 1″.\u00a0 This could be due to more force on the front suspension, but I doubt it.\u00a0 I am also thinking about cutting some holes for the handle bars because I can see that windshield getting busted when I go down.\u00a0 My assessment is that you should switch to the stock windshield when you are offroading and use the parabellum when cruising.\u00a0 It is pretty easy to switch.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

fish<\/a><\/td>\n6\u0092 0\u0094<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\u0093Seems to work really well, assuming your criteria is low noise and turbulence. If you want the wind off you too, you’ll need to go to a popemobile This is going to be a terrific summer screen…lots of air passing through…all the vents on the Arai get full air. Yeah baby, that’s what I’m talking about . No more feeling like I’m in a boxing match at 90mph! Make sure you get the little thumbscrews for $8 so you can adjust the screen on the fly.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
City Slicker<\/a><\/td>\n6\u0092 2\u0094<\/td>\n32\u0094<\/td>\n\u0093In its highest setting, the Vario screen looked and felt fragile and I had reports in advance that it was prone to vibration at higher speeds. I ruled it out when I saw it in the flesh – thin top screen and shabbily moulded plastic fittings that didn’t seem to fit.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Flying Dutchman<\/a><\/td>\n6\u0092 3\u0094<\/td>\n34\u0094<\/td>\n\u0093\u0085I remember the stock screen tunneled the turbulence layer (the boundary between the smooth laminar high speed air and the still air behind the screen) directly in my eyes. The width of this envelop was between both middles of my upper arms. The MDI shifted this boundary layer up a little bit, just above my eyes. Width was equal. The MRA seems to bring the turbulence boundary to the very top of my helmet, the width has increased sligthly towards my elbows. So this means a little less gorrila arms and helmet lift-off at speeds over 140 km\/h. I think my average cruising speed will now settle around 150-160 instead of 130-140 km\/h. The roar of this turbulent layer hitting my helmet is noticably smoother, although not very significant. It seems much more bareable, but you of course still need earplugs to prevent permanent hearing damage (hell, you even need that on a Goldwinnabago..). Given the endless angle and length setups on this screen and the relative low price, you’ll always find a setup that suits you. The upper screen has 3 holes to which you can attach the slider, which in itself can be slided relatively simple up and down along the lower screen. Even with the screen at a steep up angle, there still is a lot of room left for air to travel underneath the screen to reduce turbulence.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
cRAsH<\/a><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\u0093Head-slap turbulence was way down, noise still high. Looks bitchin’ cool\u00a0 — would never put one my bike because I would break it. The slider hardware is somewhat cheesy.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
drholm<\/a><\/td>\n6\u0092 6\u0094<\/td>\n36\u0094<\/td>\n\u0093The only setting that is a worthwhile improvement over stock is full forward, full raised. The turbulent air is moved to just at the very top of my helmet. There is still a lot of air coming around the sides of the screen and around the tank. At 90 mph + everything smoothed out nicely. I think it’s a keeper. Better than the GIVI by quite a lot. Probably not as good as the Aeroflow, especially with the Aero-guards to deflect some of the air coming around the screen . The plex is not as thick as stock but far from flimsy. The screen adjusters have rubber\/steel washers and knurled knobs. They snug it up tight. It did not vibrate at high speed. There is more flex than the stock screen but this does not seem to be a problem as far as I can tell. I’ll watch it carefully for signs of stress cracking and report back. I think it would survive a typical offroad drop with no problem.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

(The headlight cover does not come with a German T\u03acV Type Approval – is not street legal in Germany.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Rallye version of this cockpit exists which allows for easy mounting of an IMO computer, roadbook and control lamps. It has been prepared to accommodate both the IMO computer and the roadbook.<\/p>\n

The cockpit is made from CNC machined aluminium and has a black plastic coating. Micro switches have already been integrated. ABS control lamps are also fitted.\u00a0 Cost is $821.00 U.S.<\/p>\n

Will<\/a><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/td>\n\u0093\u0085On a 1-10 scale I’d give it an 8 for fit but a 4 for quality. the under side is unfinished fiberglass, the top is grey primer. Turbulance is gone, noise is up, no better or worse than without the windshield but with the stock grey shield.\u0094<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
