NigelO Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 Interesting - I travelled 140-ish miles to Northampton Motorsport and back on Tuesday - as I knew I was going to use the M6/M1 to get there, I put my half-doors on Buffeting (even at crash helmet level) was reduced significantly, suggesting its not just the aeroscreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected them to make a difference, but only at torso / shoulder level - I was surprised to find they made any real difference at head level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking more of overall buffeting I suppose (from my experience) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Some of the drivers of our lightweight sports cars look like they could do with a little less buffeting 🍕😄 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Reid Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I've got a double bubble aeroscreen and really prefer it over a windscreen but having read the above I wonder if the blade type aeroscreen would be even better? Who's tried both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelO Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Update on the aeroscreen buffetting issue I slotted the lower / side mounting holes and managed to get another 10mm or so of height on the screen, which also slightly increased the angle of the perspex element of the screen. This has had two results:- 1) I can see even less of the road surface now and I clobbered a few potholes on my Sunday run around the Peak District 2) Buffetting is worse at anything less than about 85mph - I reckon the top of my head is right in the point where the airflow from the screen starts to "tumble", which resulted in a VERY unpleasant "hammering" effect - my vision was even blurring slightly. After about 85, the buffetting decreased quite noticeably, but I'm not sure that will stack up as a defence in court.... So - there's only one more thing to try before I justify spending some cash on a carbon aeroscreen - I'm going to slot the lower mounts downwards and decrease the height of the screen. This will obviously mean I get more air hitting my head, but the reduction of angle might mean that my head is in stable airflow, rather than vortices I'll update after the next sunny Sunday.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
