Here's the panel I've fitted to see if it stops some of the turbulant air coming up through the hole around the forks. I tried ther bike with a cardboard panel before and it seemed to make a difference, haven't tried the new version yet.......

Now that's a very neat and professional looking job Nick!

Let us know results as soon as you've road tested it.

Just one thing ...... if it IS as simple a cure as that, why haven't Yamaha done it?
Just mind it doesn't affect (or is it effect?)the handling when you are road testing.

It certainly isn't THE answer to the turbulance, but the cardboard one I tried did appear to make a difference.

Don't think Yamaha have done it because for 90% of the time theres not a problem (for me anyway), the only time I felt it was +60mph.

Don't think you do +60mph much arcoss the Atlas mountains?????




Nick.

yer but you've got to get there within your 2 week holiday

Wanna see some test results. =)

Wonder what happens if you place a similar construction behind the fork and really plug it..

at the mo yes till i have the time to get something better rigged up. might make it bigger so i could put a map on it?????. not really bother what it looks like as long as it works...

Try one of these seen here http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=10165

It cured the buffeting/turbulence for me 100% and it has a practical use also. Use it as a small bag if you dont want/need sat nav. My bag is on all the time now even if the tomtom isnt fitted.
