Tobinators, as sold by Nippy Normans (link at the top of the page). Work a treat

(well for me anyway - 6'3" and an open face helmet.)

Several GSers have been decapitated whilst doing a 'lifesaver' at over 20mph.
take care out there

king arthur had a turbolance - i don't think he suffered from head buffeting :nenau

Iv'e got a Tour X and the turbulance and buffeting is very bad when on my 1150 ADV

I fitted some Tobinators yesterday from NN's and can sit comfortably at 80/90 mph , turbulance and buffeting gone , reduced wind noise , visor up at 40/50 mph

There worth every penny

Exhaust and engine noise level has been reduced

or is it me :mmmm

I'm 6'2 use a Tour X and a standard screen on my Adv. can't say I've noticed or suffered from any undue turbulence and I can do "life-savers" without fear of losing the peak at any speed.

Ive use a tour X on my 1150GS and no turbulance and buffeting, i also have Coms fitted in my helmet, which i have no problem answering my phone and listening to music.
No Tobinators.
