Hello,
I'm new to this forum and to motorcycles in general so this may be a stupid question. I've read several threads about people cutting their OEM wind screens down to eliminate "turbulence" I have a 2006 FZ6...
Im not sure if I understand exactly what they are getting at by this and what the difference in lamens terms would be.
I'm just under 6 feet tall and I do notice a considerable amount of wind noise, particularly around 50+mph. I have an Icon Alliance SSR helmet as well, the wind noise struck me as being greater than I expected after riding older naked style bikes like the SV650 and smaller 250cc bikes that I had learned on.
My Dad has a 2008 Harley Vrod so hes really not much help with this issue...
I did notice that during a few canyon drives the wind from the side of the mountain really caught be off guard and seemed to effect me much more than my Dad on his bike. Is it possible my helmet that's causing much more wind noise of just the airflow that is pretty much directed at my helmet based on how I did.
What exactly is the goal of someone who cuts down their OEM screen or buys an aftermarket screen? Would a cut screen cut on wind noise but make it more difficult to ride at higher speeds or in windy conditions?
Sorry in advance if these are stupid questions...
