NqN Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Picked my bike up today and it's everything I hoped for and more so far. I'm coming off a cruiser so seating position is taking a little getting used to (my legs instinctively reach forward for pegs). I've done my research on the bike but riding it is so much different, torque everywhere! and the sound.. oh man.. I did notice when up to speed the wind buffeting on my helmet was pretty substantial so I might get a larger windshield. I can't wait till the roads clear up some more so I can really open her up. For now, i'm just trying to get used to the new ergos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be tall, cause I found the helmet buffeting to be minimal, but the helmet sound was loud at speed, so I upgraded to 6 inches taller.

Guest eatpasta Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 you may find you like it with the wind screen completely off the bike! Once it warms up do some experimenting and get back to us.... welcome to the site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant wind noise. Did you find the taller shield helped? If it did, did you get it from calsci or another place. Also how tall are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant wind noise. Did you find the taller shield helped? If it did, did you get it from calsci or another place. Also how tall are you? There is still wind noise, but it is reduced (6' tall with 32 inch inseam). Only really a problem with a cross wind, so not sure what would help that. I bought the tall Calsci and may look around for another when they become available. It fits the bill for now, looks nice, and is a quality product. It needs a reverse flip at the top though, that would make it perfect. A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

papadage Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Welcome aboard from another NJ FJ-09 rider! What helmet are you using? I have a Shoei Qwest, and it is pretty quiet. Then again, I am only 5'6", so the wind kinda passes over me. I can't wait until this crappy winter weather is over so I can do some riding. I already have a 2,000 mile trip planned for May.

Every time I think Im johnny-racer on a sportbike, I get onto an upright bike and ride it faster and more safely. congrats on the bike and welcome to the site!!
