Emgo fairing

[capttwb136_imp]

I hate to report this, but after taking a 300 mile ride a couple days ago, I may have found a flaw in the design of the Emgo. As I reported in one of my early posts the wind hits me about shoulder high. Well it seems every darn bug hits me squarely in the face shield.

Maybe if I tilt it forward a bit they will hit higher up. As it is now after a couple hours you have to stop to clean the bugs off or your vision is very limited. I'd love to be able to find a replacement windscreen for it with a lip on the top.

It's not really a flaw in the design. The smaller sport fairings are designed to keep your helmet in clean air, while deflecting the wind blast from your torso.

If you adjust it a bit higher, you might end up with the turbulent air flow hitting your face shield, which usually results in noise and buffeting. If you want something that'll deflect the air over the top of the helmet, I think you'll need a much taller windshield/fairing.

I wish I had read this this morning. I took the fairing off trying to raise the angle of the wind screen. To accomplish this I had to remove the bracket off the bottom. I guess I raised it a inch or two.

It didn't stop the bugs from hitting right on the face shield. So it was a complete failure. It really doesn't bother me. I just thought the fairing was directing all the bugs to a certain height. I was wrong. I tried it with and without the fairing, practically no difference in the amount of bugs hitting the face shield.

I did find out however the bracket on the bottom isn't really necessary.
