Being a tall guy I get a fair old buffeting from the wind which echos lovely around my noisey arai lid, thinking of changing my double bubble for a flip up .. any suggestions ?

Ear plugs. A lot of people also tend to ride with in-ear earphones.

Much cheaper than a new hat Smile

Being a tall guy as well I feel your pain. I have a double bubble on mine and it just blows the air into my face which is really annoying.

I've never used a flip up. In my experience the standard screens are better as they direct the air into your chest instead of the face which helps push you upright, taking the strain off your wrists etc.

What Bike ??? as not all will be able to take a flip screen.

As above try the std screen again. So you are then in clean air.

Try Here MRA

Got a FZS600, and good advice will whack the old standard screen on (that come when I bought the bike second hand) and see if this is better for me ..

The guy I bought the bike from was shorter than me so that makes sence that the DB would have suited him better Smile
