Yet Another Windscreen Thread - Slipstreamed

[rboe]

Bought the Slipstream SO-3 and installed it on the CB. OK, found that it took so much wind off my chest that the second to the lowest setting on my heated gear is still too hot.

But a lot of wind buffeting leading to a lot of noise around the helmet. Need a solution for that. Then I recall I had a boat load of extra velcro dots for mounting my Laminair Lip. Took 40 minutes to find them, but I did, and took the lip off my MRA screen and mounted it on the Slipstream. Finally took it for a test ride this afternoon: Woow! Wind goes up and over my head, much quieter, this is good!

Pro: Very good protection, even for the thighs, noise is now very tolerable. I can have the flip screen on my helmet up without the air stream yanking my head back.

Con: Dang mounts loosen up on short rides (mainly the fork tube mounts, their system is not impressive), wind now pushes from behind (expected, and this is nit-picking), more noise from the road and engine now finds its' way to my ears. Looks very 1970's ish and dorky. But I have a Chic fairing coming in for the warm weather and when I want to look cool.
