    Have reduced buffeting to acceptable levels. Got longer bolts for bottom screen mount to forks & packed out about 20mm. Had to also get longer bolts for headlamp mount & pack that up 15mm to clear light bar.
    Screen position much improved, at max height top of screen just below eye level.
    Next stage would be to try those additional lower screen things but will probably look for decent luggage first as mine came without bags.

    Cheers for the photos Skinman

    Experimented on the motorway this evening as I thought I was starting to feel the buffeting that everyone talks about. Usually ride with my visor up, but when I lowered it there was a distinct drop in the buffeting that I felt. Perhaps the turbulent air was coming off my screen then getting caught under the lip(or bottom) of the visor which was contributing to the buffeting feeling.

    Finally I get to put my pilots aerodynamic theory in to practice!

    More aerodynamic exercises tomorrow as I go up to Orewa in the morning me thinks!

    You can get Gel touring seats for both the Speedmaster and America that are very comfortable for the pillion.
