    Then you need either a lower screen (which will bring the air stream down a bit), or a higher one (which will direct the airflow higher but may make for more turbulence).
    You could also try altering your posture, if possible, like crouching more and/or sitting further back on the seat, or sitting up straighter and further forward.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    got screens from visual plastics a number of times in the past (now called GODIVA by the way) call 0800 bikeblades

    but now with mt eden motorcycles doing them so cheap your better off going there, $80 for regular or $200 for those indestructable ones, i reckon they aint too shabby and after breaking my NC30's one last night it may well see one soon.

    I have used one from Visual.
    Got a blue one for my Gixer! Looked real good.
    They can make pretty much any colour.
    I recomend them to everyone.

    hey dude just an idea--give visual plastics a call
    Their screens are vacume (sp) formed but usually they form two together and cut em to shape.
    Given your problem they might be able to cut /form a blade to help with your problem.

    visual plastics aka Godiva get my vote. I've had 2 screens from them for my gsxr400 cost me about $125. they make them to order.

    Thumbs up Screen test

    Yep, Visual supplied the new screen for the FZR400 fairing that's now on the NTV and they couldn't have been more helpful. And fast! They built me a custom one for the same price as a standard. See, Christians should not be scorned upon, especially when a lot of them do perform a level of service like the Visual team do.

    I'm sure looking forward to getting the blade back on the Voxan because 200 clicks without one is just that little bit insane when you don't have to play wind tunnel. 250 clicks without a fairing wouldn't necessarily be insanity but if it wasn't it would have to at least be masochistic wouldn't it?

    If the new blade doesn't do the job I'll be straight over to visual to have a custom made up.
    Reality is an illusion encouraged by consensus.
