I have a Puig double bubble on my bike. It looks great but I think the turbulance is just as bad as the stock.
Over the past few days I have been trying to reduce windnoise and general discomfort, getting ready for my trip to france next Friday.
A discussion started about screens getting bigger but still not stopping turbulance so the logic thing was to go in the other direction...smaller.
If the screen is the size of a house you will still get wet and blown around on this bike. Therefore the screen must be for:
1. The look
2. To stop turbulance and have a smoother ride.
Not necessarily in that order.
I apologise for the photos but most were taken in my shed in a thunderstorm with the lights blown out.
I am useless at DIY and attempted this with heart in mouth. I am glad I had the Puig to fall back on.
...STEP 1....MARKING THE SCREEN
First I tied a pencil to a piece of string and held the string tightly at the "Nose" of the screen. I aimed to draw a line from the edges of the screen just above the fastening holes.
Keep the line tight and move the pencil across the screen.
I did this just to see if it would would work Ok...suprise...it did.
I then repeated the procedure with a marker I could see clearly.
