Laminar Flow and Turbulance:

[deeptekkie]

At the base of our factory-installed windshields there is an airspace, about 1/4" all the way across the bottom of the windscreen. (I know why it's there) Have any of you closed this off to see how it affects wind flow?
Just wondering....
Thanks.

Stuff a rag in it and let us know.... You still have some riding weather down there

Not to go off topic but - - - It'd be interesting to see our bikes in the wind tunnel with a smoke stream in both faired, normal, short & tall wind screens and the naked. . .

Oh - with a rider of course. Anyone have access to such things?

I suppose some tape and short sections of yarn would get us some basic info. A chase camera with side and frontal views at various speeds could capture the air flow, currents, eddies, vacuum etc. . .

I know id really be interested in seeing the difference between a faired vs naked

Do a string test with someone following you with a car... the old school way.

I wonder how far back you'd have to be to get clean air again?

My luck it'd go in the wheel and I'd FacePlant on video. . . We need a clean areo pure car that doesn't disrupt the slipstream too much. Maybe even a bike with a poll out the side???

Another option would be a unicorn and run the string yourself! lol

It'd look pretty ****....
