Baffle Plate

Although the fitting of a taller windscreen somewhat alleviated the turbulence and wind noise around my helmet, it had not eliminated it completely. The cause seemed to be air being forced up from underneath, through the space round the fork legs. Some sort of air deflector was obviously required. Although the gap around the fork legs can not be completely closed off for obvious reasons, the fitting of an aluminium sheet underneath the fairing serves to eliminate the majority of this turbulence.

This has certainly improved the wind noise level at higher speeds and does not seem to affect the bike’s handling.
