When answering the helmet poll the other day, It dawned on me, I hadn't slapped on the ol' Nolan N100 for some time.
I chose it over my Bell Pit Boss, because it was only 10c, and my open face was not making my face happy. AND, I went from a neckid T100 to a Tiger with a small window, so the aerodynamics were totally different.
The seat is in the lowest position.
Now, here is where it gets interesting....I was considering a taller windscreen, as I had notice a bit of turbulence/buffeting....not 1993 ST100 stock windscreen type of buffeting (sorry about the obscure reference, but anyone who has owned one knows of what I speak) but just enough to ponder a bit quieter ride. Short jaunts of 50km or less it seems tolerable...it was the longer hauls that concerned me.
I digress...I noticed a drastic reduction in noise/turbulence and buffeting with the Nolan...even with the front flipped up! So...being that I am just shy of 6' tall, I find the STOCK screen pretty much ALMOST ok. So maybe if I bought a helmet made in the last decade...as in lower profile and lighter, I can just put away new screen Ideas?
Any similar experiences and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I do not want to spend over $350.00 CDN, and I want another flip-up. Full face all the time, is not going to happen..been there done that.
