So...I've seen thoughts on the air coming through the forks contributing to buffeting.
While cleaning bike the other day, noticed the threaded bosses under the fork.
Then noticed a 6"×12" piece of aluminum on my workbench.
Then my A.D.D. kicked in!!!
15 minutes later, I had to run to the hardware store to get 6mm fine screws.
This is what I came up with.
Rode 20+ miles. Some into 30mph winds.
Holy Crap!!!!!
My glasses didn't dance, and try to go up my face like normal. Felt NO wind into my chest either.
More testing to come, and what I think will be a better deflector.
Can't believe that no one has tried something like this before, as I can definitely tell that more air is being pushed into the engine. Felt more heat on my shin area versus before. Will have to lead to a cooler engine besides the buffet improvement.
Combine this with some small fork lowers and we may have something big........!
