Title: FOUND ! Another option for wind deflection
Post by: surlybruce on January 14, 2006, 07:30:44 AM
 I found a company selling a product called  MICRO SWIRL EDGING to fit the GS 500 F windscreen. [ www.saeng.com ] CHEERS!

Let us know how it works.

Somehow I'd be more confident with a larger "Laminar Lip" windscreen that deflects the wind away from the rider rather than generating turbulence.  I'm not saying it won't work, but I'm a "doubting Thomas" on this one 'til someone we know has tried it.

I think you are looking at the wrong product. this is the one: http://www.saeng.com/4000.htm

I actually like it too, but I would like to see one of these mounted on a gs first

Hmm, I think it looks lame, but at the same time, there should be a large chance that they actually spent time, effort and money to make it actually work. So.. yea, tell us how it works. I wonder if it works kinda, or as well as a large lip, or like they say: 5 inches of boost. .. what ever that means.
