Wind on arms - what fix ?

[Rowle]

Hi all,
Love the way my bike is and the only bit i want to fix now is that i find my arms tend to get too much air/wind.(and get soaked in the rain)

2020 GS / standard screen / i am 5ft 7”.

Was thinking about either a GSA screen of those winglets that fit on each side of the font tank area.
To save me buying stuff that might not work, have you got any advice ?

Thanks all.

You can fit a GSA screen it is a little wider, or a Marathon wunderlich, but with screen support bracket, GS like poker you must pay to see.

Thanks Winjar.
Are these things any good to keep the wind of my arms?

I have just installed those wind flaps on my non-adventure 1250gs 2021 and they made no difference. Now I'm trying with the screens that cost me a lot of money. So far, not satisfied with these screens:
- BMW Adventure screen
- Puig Adventure screen with and withoout the spoiler
- Givi Adventure screen
BMW and Puig screens gave me no wind problem on my arms and shoulders but I had big buffeting problem with both. Givi solved buffeting problem but as it created very low pressure behind the screen now I have a problem with lot of wind on my arms and shoulders.
I've just placed the order for Wunderlich screen as they claim it solves both of the problems. After that, MRA will be my last attempt to solve this.

Sorry no my friend had this, he sell in 1 week, wider screen only solution, but rain is rain, best money spend is good jacket and pants.

I've had these on for a few thousand miles and find they make quite a difference , definitely worth it for me along with gsa screen +spoiler. So much so that i use a tiny sport screen for summer to get more air. I'm 5'10" ish.

Hi Billy,
When you say made quite a difference, was that to your arms or overall/ body/ head ?
Thanks for the input.

I'm sorry but isn't the point of a motorbike to have the wind and the air etc etc

If you want to be protected from the elements then use the car FFS

Maybe, but a little less rain on the summer jacket would be great. I ride in fully waterproof gear in the winter so no issues.
Why not aim for a better experience if it suits you ?
I ride 12000+ miles a year so am not scared of a bit of rain - just want to get it better.

Now understand better, with summer jacket, I just accept if rain comes, if hot I dry quickly with hot wind.

Theees not much of that this side of the channel. Hot air, yes…

A new one for me.

Wow! I've never heard this one before.

 

[Davey B]

This has to be a joke surely ?

Cue a mid August thread about 'My arms are too hot...'
