papac2000 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Many riders have noted that thr lowest position yields the cleanest airflow around the helmet area. I have put spacers under the two lower screen mounts ( between the screen and rubber isolators) to lower the screen angle slightly. I used some plastic coated aluminum washers I had around the shop. The washers are 2mm or so in total. I am riding Sunday with DeersSlayer and will report if it makes any significant difference. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papac2000 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 I've just finished cutting 3in off the top of the stock screen. Will get a chance to try it tomorrow. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papac2000 Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Makes a noticeable difference, a step in the right direction. I have a little different approach planned when I get some time. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papac2000 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 A little odd looking, but I think I like it. Will post pic of it installed on the bike as well as review. Now 1 1/2in shorter again in the middle section for a total of roughly 4 1/2in less than stock. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vango Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I notice when I stand up on my bike it is like all noise goes away. Maybe I should remove screen all together ? I'm 6-4. So I thought the screen would be fine. But in the lowest position it hits my shoulders and chin. And in the upper it hits my forehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodan Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Way back in '02, I bought a first year VStrom 1k, and turbulence off the screen was a big issue. The FJ9 is worlds better out of the box, but still suffers from a lack of clean air at the helmet. Here's what I did with the VStrom screen, and it worked great, giving clean air at the helmet, while still providing some coverage to the rider's shoulders: Something similar might work well for the FJ9, as I have noticed it's much smoother and quieter if I stand on the pegs, and get my head into clean air.

papac2000 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Using shims under the mount plate and the screen, it lays back on a lower angle now. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruster8999 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I like the look. How is it with the wind noise and buffiting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
