Hi guys and girls, I'm new to the forum so........... Hi!! My ride is George, an XJ6-S, I've had him since May, done about 1500 miles and altogether very pleased :rolleyes: My first bike was an ER5 and since having a 'proper' bike I've learnt a lot and am still learning. Anyway enough of the soppy stuff!

At speeds of 60, the noise inside my helmet is so so loud. If I sit up straight my chest takes most of the blast and it really quietens down. Somebody suggested to crouch down more but if I wanted to do that I've had bought a sports bike. I've had a new helmet and it has helped but not much!

I'm 5'3, so not sure if my height plays a part..... do you think a double bubble screen might help?

Hi Kayley and welcome to 'the ward' :blink: , there is a miriad of opinion on screens for the divvy, you can buy daft** 'deflectors' that screw onto the top of the screen-these throw the airstream over your head (once adjusted properly), touring screens are much taller than the stock ones and would be a better option-look out for them on flea bay (beside the hens teeth) :)

I say daft because of the 'daft money' price tag-butt I've heard they work !, Gas-up-letgo might have a link ? :huh:

HTH :)

Tbh honest I don't want a touring screen, I hoping to improve on looks (hence the DB screen) or am I after cake and wanting to eat it as well? As for prices, there's some on ebay for about 70 quid. Not sure if this is good or bad??? :huh:

Also I've been reading a thread on new members only joining to ask for help. I'm a member on a female biker site (bikegirl.co.uk) and it can seem pretty rude when a new member asked for something without even saying hi. I really hope I don't come across like that!! I will really appreciate any advice / replies I may get.
