r3 newbie with helmet "wind slapping"

[barbagris]

I use a Nolan N44, it's the best helmet I've ever used and helps to limit the buffering to some extent.

That's interesting as it's on my list for a new summer lid.

Not much choice for colours though, but I really like the full view, even in full face mode, your peripheral vision is like an open face!

caschi Crossover da moto e scooter nolan N44 evo Fair amount of colours. I would only wear it with the chin-piece in - and tbh might well even dab some epoxy on so it can't be unclipped. The only negative I have read is that it is NOT 100% resistant to water ingress but the likelihood of water here in summer is less than minimal.

Not what you'd call classic (or realistic) testing - but spectacular.

Others on the list X-Lite X-403GT, Caberg EGO, Nexx X.WED2 and the (about to be released) Caberg Levante. Maybe one of the Airoh - One of these days I have to venture down into the metropolis and wander through some shops.

You should put pics up of your bike and windshield. Might be able to give better advice. Maybe it's the windshield that is the problem. My 0.02$

rocketjohn, what are r3T lowers?

tomorrow i'm going to take the plexiglass off the fairing and see what that does? maybe with it off a different shapped helmet will make a difference?

and what di you guys say about a lighter helmet? a good thing or not, particularly for wind slapping?

I use the lowers when it starts getting cold autumn and spring and take them off for the summer.

Ta-dah!

Huge I know, but with Clearview vented (stock Triumph Roadster screen size specs) Mephis Shades Top wing and Memphis Shades side wings + stainless Steel blades from UK which require your own bracket fabrication and location.

I have been 120mph on GPS and is rock steady fully loaded with my 170Kg + gear and massive luggage, leather panniers top box + 3 bags/rolls on top of panniers and pillion seat.

For the last 10,000Km I have been using a Lazer Jet Super Skin open face with flip screen and no earplugs, I do not get runny eyes from wind or any turbulence to worry about.

Hmmmm - Aerodynamic it isn't. I thought my frontal exposure was bad - but that's plain silly.

Open faced lid - naughty 'shrub - bad, bad Koala Kuddler.

I have been searching for ages - but seem to have lost the photos from @Ogre and my mate Jim of a far more streamlined screen made by National Cycle - meant for a Suzuki (one of the 109's). Jim told me NO Helmet shake and he did a cross-USA trip in all weathers.

Blimey - I found them
N28206 made for: "1800cc,M109R2 Boulevard/M1800 08 to 09"



I have more photos. I don't suppose Ogre would mind if I shared (but if you want them send your email in a PM)

Saw this today which (whilst obviously marketing) was a bit of a revelation.
