Hi Everyone
« on: August 07, 2022, 22:49:09 »
 Hi folks,  I recently bought a k6 vee in the hope I can get off on some adventures. So far I'm loving the bike but need to sort out the horrible buffering problem ASAP.

Hello and  :welcome2:
Buffering?
Do you mean Buffeting? as when your head gets bashed around by turbulence.
Windscreens must match the size of the rider. So you may need to change the angle by adding a screen extension, or a taller screen, or a shorter screen. The standard mirrors do not help and many riders fit smaller mirrors on lower fittings ( Aprillia style). Some get away with packing out the upper or lower screen fittings with tap washers. On my K7V I fitted a "slipscreen" it was huge and it was fugly and only a little better.
This doesn't last forever, so do it while you can.

Mirror extenders help apparently, I still run the stock mirrors as I love the visibility the old barn doors give you. I've got a standard height MRA screen with a Vario spoiler sat gathering dust in my garage if you're ever down Sheffield way.
