Title: Laminar Lip & 500F
Post by: Caravan on July 21, 2004, 01:05:00 PM
While I love the nimbleness of the 500F, I found the windblast at interstate highway speeds to be a bit much.  I ordered and received promptly a Laminar Lip.  It mounts to the OEM screen with "Dual-Lock" fasteners.  (High test self-stick pads attached to each other bv super velcro-like material.)  Quite simple to mount.  (Yours will be a little straighter than mine if you get someone to help you! :oops: )

Results?  Works as advertised!  I'm 5'8"  with short legs.  The stock screen put the wind at my shoulders.  Now, I only experience a little helmet buffeting at around an indicated 75-80.  Very nice, indeed.  $75 USD at http://www.laminarlip.com.   :thumb:

No fiduciary interest in the company, yada...yada.
