riding without a windscreen

hi, im 5,8 and 170 lbs. and the windscreen( stock) and cheap double bubble where killing me with wind noise, so sunday i started going naked!! w ell this week has been the best riding week on this machine !! I have a givi on order for the cold that's coming. but man, this bike is WAYYY better with no windscreen!! I TRUELLY GOT TO ENJOY THE ENGINE for the first time in 1000 miles . stock handle bars pulled to top and stock seat . i was going to give up on it that's how bad it is.my helmets are shoei quest and a zx 12 with bottom curtain from England and i wear a nylon pulldown not to sweat in my helmets. just thought id share!!

 

Do you use ear plugs?

 

no I don't. I don't like the underwater feeling of hearing i get from them. Hard to describe I guess ? I have tried but I feel disconnected with them. Put over 100k on 3 busas(combined) 30k on a zrx (bikini fairing) with the same setups and NEVER had this problem. I am praying the big givi gets the air up enough for cold weather riding .but at least I have next summer to look forward to without any shield if need be.i find the vtec to be more fun than my big bore bikes, as I get to ring it out alot and its fun as all heck. I was dreading having to sell it if I couldn't find a fix.

 

:spiderull the plug on one headlight too!

 

nope ,then some kid on a r 6 would want me to stunt with him..............

 

I ran with a new windscreen for almost a year. The only difference is when you get above 80 miles an hour gets a little "tuggy--wants to pull you off!

 

If you can't see fit to pull the plug on a headlight could you do the same for SOW. We here on the other side of the pond would be most grateful..

M'thinks riding withoot the windscreen would be no worse or better than riding a bike that didn't come with a windscreen or fairing to begin with.

 

to not listen to the wolf over the BB troll would bee a big mistake, if you run one headlight then you now have a spare light, your charging system has one less thing to run

 

Clean air blowing by is better than the focused stuff on my head ,winter riding will suck if the givi doesn't help

 

you suppose to duck out of the wind=my st windscreen keeps the cold off me
