My KLR thinks it's a Hyundai - running happily at the red-line hour after hour.....
G'day,
thought I would let you learn from my mistakes - designed a high tech, really expensive touring screen (about $4.70 all up so far), take 1, as you can see I cunningly took a sheet of perspex and added it into the existing screen thereby extending it![]()
Unfortunatly all that did was redirect the airflow (and sundry insects) from the bottom / chin of my helmet up into my eyes / peak area so making a slight noise problem into a really noisy noise problem
so for part two I borrowd a heat gun and bent the whole thing up and forward (and braced it with some off cut from the off cut), hopefully this will take the airflow up and over my helmet - will advise when I take her for a decent highway run
Yep, that's one of the issues I had with Padmei's screen on Gonzo. Right smack in the visor, rattling teef and causing an instant headache.
I kept lowering mine until the flow was below helmet level.
Yep i found the only way to get air floating over the top of the helmet was to have tall screen. Looked really dorky but really comfy behind in cooler weather. It is a lot less tiring behind a screen on long rides.

See now I know you are taking the Michael .............. "looked really dorky" and a KLR in the same sentence - Oxymoron ............unless of course it was as thus;
The {insert name of bike here, orange, weak 3rd, armchair or whatever} looked really dorky beside the awesomeness that was the KLR!
............will take the old girl for a spin, if it works all good if it doesn't the old screen can go back on or I might try without
G'day KLRites
Been looking at the Rox Pivoting anti-vibe risers (get 'em forward as well as up) - found these action shots on KLR.net - are they as good as they look, would make standing a truck load easier, wouldn't they (I am 6 foot)? - Thoughts, please?
Looks to me they aren't very stable?

Thought about rox risers, but they look like just another thing to break in a spill. I went the whole tall handlebar thing but have gone back to lower, but pushed forward as its nicer on the road. Also I like to lean forward when standing.
I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........
they don't move when in use... thats just showing the range of movement....
