Decided to give this a go. My biggest issue is not turbulence/buffeting but noise from the wind. I ride with earplugs and even then, if I don't get them in just right then I get a headache after a while from the wind. I plan on getting a Sena communication system but if I need to turn the volume louder than that of the current wind noise, I'd go deaf (then the headaches would stop right).
So, the package arrived as expected. I will say the directions are not the best. They have a second set of directions online; I used both to help.
First step, cut the red 3M adhesive to fit the contour of the mounting plate. The 3M adhesive goes directly onto the bikes windshield.
Next, cut this black foam pad to the contour of the silver plate
A-Ha! After cutting the black foam pad, the left over piece fits the contour needed for the 3M adhesive.
I actually figured that out before cutting anything.
Everything cut and basically an overview of how it all gets put together
After applying the 3M adhesive, use some lock-tite on the screws as they recommend and install onto the windshield
After that, install the actual wind deflector. This is the veiw.
How much height does it add? 10cm from the top of the windscreen. The actual new plastic piece itself is 8cm high.
It doesn't really bother me to look through, in fact it is lower than where I look when riding. If looking right in front of me yes, it's noticeable. The big thing now is trying to get it adjusted right. I played with it a little but still need to tweak it. I did notice a difference right away, but not enough to recommend it yet.
