If so, does it quieten the noise of the engine/wind down?

Cheers

Maybe try a cut down ice cream tub lid and some tie wraps as a starter?

It's what I'm planning to do before heading up to Scotland in April.

i fitted one, it does NOT improve anything to do with noise or wind. Just a bit of useless plastic thats tidies cockpit up if thats what you want!

I made the ice cream tub equivalent for my crosstourer as they were prone to buffeting, it worked quite well on the Honda but didn't cost 72 quid

Yes did it the other day, very easy, I added the dual USB socket at the same time.

I think this with the handlebar bag will make a difference but currently on its own no. It may heklp with rain spray etc in downpours but who knows.

Certainly not worth £70 odd quid. I do like it for cleaning up the cockpit.

when looking at this, there does seem to be a lot of gaps, so I would be interested to hear how and why this would stop wind noise.
?? would the smaller gaps intensify the air passing through as it will have been squeezed through a smaller area.

or is it a case of, like so many other farkles for these bikes, the "shiny item syndrome" or in this case "black item syndrome"

It may not have stopped wind but I will definitely say it has lowered road noise from the front wheel

There are cheaper ones, but quality? and maybe import taxes & vat at this end from China (£26) from Uk £46.

Tyre noise is my concern, yes I do wear ear plugs.

 

[Bigcats]

Exactly why I bought mine (I have no issue from wind blowing up there is more noise for me)

I can assure you the one from Wunderlich is by no mean rigid etc....its a pretty cheap flimsy bit of moulded plastic seriously not worth £72 I paid.

But we're suckers for our toys ;-)

Yep I fitted one What a complete wast of time and money I wouldn’t bother

Fitted one from Aliexpress. Probably the same thing. Doubt there will be a separate exclusive factory for a bit of plastic. Does cut don on tyre noise and tidys up the front but expect just changing the OE tyres for road tyres would have a bigger effect.

Got one and can confirm it looks nice.. that is all.

Buy the Aliexpress one
