Road King Screen

I know this subject has been thrashed around many times, but still doesn't seem to be a clear cut answer.

The buffetting from my screen is bad enough to make my eyeballs vibrate. I know the answer is to dump the screen, and I'm happy to do that most of the time, but there are the occasional longer trips when the screen is essential for relieving the pressures on arms and chest.

I've tried cutting down (a spare), an inch at a time until not much left. Hasn't helped.

The screen is the tallest RK screen I'm aware of. I'm 6.1 and it's about eye level.

Any positive suggestions ?

Re: Road King Screen

Sounds like a helmet problem, does it fit nice and tight, do you have a peak, visor that is loose or ill fitting, open visor, experiment with a different helmet, really bad advice but, offroad, experiment with no helmet.

My eyeballs only vibrate when I have my full face visor open, reminds me to close it.

Re: Road King Screen

It could be your riding position, I am not quite so tall at 5' 11" butuse the screen almost all the time. I dont thinkcutting it down will help if anything it should be a bit higher.

I have pulled my handlebars down a bit so that my head is out of the draft. So wobbly head is reduced. (actually I wobble my head even when Im not riding, as my mates will tell you).

Re: Road King Screen

The only other way of tackling the problem that I can think of is to fit a seat that lowers your body. I fitted a mustang solo that droped me just over an inch, not so that I could get lower relative to the screen it was just to get my short legs closer to the ground!
