Laminar lip.......it's finally on!!

Post by smeghead »

First impressions of the lip effect....At 30-40 mph definite improvement in airflow, I can hear the engine much more clearly and can happily trundle around with the visor up and the airflow is out of my face. I have only taken it up to 60 mph and whilst wind noise increases, which I expected, my head is not moving around and bobbing in the breeze so so far I'd say there is an improvement over the stock screen. I will be taking a trip to the seaside at the weekend so I will evaluate further, that's if it doesn't drop off!

Well, it doesn't drop off....you see a strange blur and something flying over your head and the noise level suddenly increases!
On my mk3 Tmax it was dead quiet up to 75 or so, then the noise began to reassert itself slightly. Immeasurably better than the standard screen though.

I remember seeing a strange blur heading toward me years ago when I had a GS400, I'd swallowed it before I knew what was happening!!
