I'm addicted to my Buell- even my buddy on his SV650s loves it and frequently comments on the drive out of corners I have that he does not...

But while he envies me there, I envy wind protection! A mile or two @ 90mph or more and my neck is ridiculously sore and because there are SO MANY amazing sweepers in my area, I need a little less windblast puhlease!

So, does anyone have some interesting/creative/practical windscreen applications for Lightning models? I can do a little fabricating... but I'm almost desperate.






Alternately, anyone want a lightning for a 'bolt?? : ) It'd be a happy trade I'm sure. If that's the case, PM me, I'll forward details bout my XB9.

I'm pretty sure American Sport Bike sells a larger wind screen for lightnings. I think its something like 4" taller and an inch or 2 wider. It might take away a good portion of the windblast on your chest but doubt it will do much for head buffeting unless you tuck in.

Cheers,

Luke

Yes, I've just gotten to checking that out. May be a lil out of my price range right at the moment... See, I'm more into making stuff ya know? Just wondering if anyone's found something particularly effective.

Thanks though

I use this, a laminar lip, it helps direct the wind a little bit higher, and over the rider.

I'm tall and I tried the Laminar Lip and the wind was still hitting my helmet. The best thing I could find was a Uly screen - the tall version

Your neck muscles will strengthen with time and you won't have a sore neck after rides anymore.

OR, do like I did and slap a Ulysses flyscreen/windscreen on her. The flyscreen is a couple of inches taller, and for highway riding you can put the windscreen on for even more wind protection. I love mine. Looks good too IMO.

I am looking to replace my original wind screen on my 2007 Buell Blast with something a bit more "sporty looking" to give it more style instead of the dirt bike style screen that originally comes on it. Anyone know where I can find something or a place that can do a custom replacement?
