...which is less a get-in-the-way then a BBQ on your bar. ;)

B*****ks!! I've been telling everyone for a year that Windcomb makes no difference. Just checked the link out of curiosity to discover the comb should be at the top, not the bottom as mine is!! If I can find some more double sided tape in Santiago, my life may be about to change forever.....

Ok lads, I've gone down the windcomb route now.....

The BBQ as it was dubbed started to rust and the paint started to flake off and it wasn't nice so I pulled that idea and have done the windcomb.

1 metre length cost me 98p and the results are good.

I have doubled up as I had enough so I have a row about halfway up the tunnel and a row at the top to create as much disruption to the air as possible.

works a treat, looks better....

Was 1 metre length enough to do both rows of comb?

Also dit something similar
 
Hi there,

I have also solved the problem with something I made, very crude at the moment but it works. It's just a bendable plastic, so I just lift it up if I want to insert my key, that I cut into the shape you see on the pic. I just stuck some Carbon sticker on it, it's a prototype, that I have been using for a year. I have a Renthal MX bar pad and I just stick it under that, it sits tight so it has never moved or fallen out. You can feel the air being re-directed if you put your hand there. Sorry for the bad pics.

Reduced the buffeting
 
Hi all, following some of the advice and experience from this forum I fitted a Giant Loop ZigZag handlebar bag as it seemed to be the simplest solution and place to start. while it has reduced the buffeting a little bit it's not a proper solution. removing the peak from my Aria Tour X4 made the biggest Improvememt.

Hi Gibbo, what have you used to attach the grill to the handlebars and is that a GPS case you show in the pics?

Just noticed the birdcomb solution - so forget the question!
