My own aerofoil/laminar lip

[Timo]

I have a few days off work and an old visor. I think I will entertain myself by making my own aerofoil, laminar lip etc. I remember reading somewhere (either here or on VSRI) about someone who had done the same thing but I can't find the post anywhere.

Anyone remember anything about such a project, or got any ideas, or done it yourself?

I'll post a few pics if I manage it.

Cheers.

I've seen a version with a 6x4 lump of amber plexiglass screwed to 2 hand clamps (the orange and black things you get form the £ shop that work like a clothes peg!!)

...and Touratech will charge you £300 quid for it!

that's where I saw it   , I just got the catalogue through (for a laugh at some of the pointless shite they offer)

funnily though, no proce list was supplied, I guess if you need to ask, you can't afford it....I can't!!

OK I've done it. The result is: aesthetically, agricultural; practically, perfect!





I also placed three rubber tap washers under the screen at the bottom. I could not get them under the holder as I wanted the screen on the middle position.



I've also ordered Aprillia Tuono mirrors: £30 delivered. So far, the difference is incredible. The screen mod cost me a fiver for the washers. I know it doesn't look great but it works and is cheaper than a Madstad and Vario screen - I used an old visor off a helmet I wasn't using anymore.

I don't know what went wrong with that.. Thought I'd followed the instructions. This is the first time I've tried to post pictures??

HAHA, looks better than the clampit version I saw, it looks quite convincing actually.

The Tuono mirrors are great, but they don't seem to nip up as well as I would have liked so put a rew rounds of PTFE tape on the stem. Not sure of buffeting change, but they don't vibrate anywhere near as much as stock!!!

Thank you Desert Strom for that, how did you do it?
