Home made laminar lip

[GTRPete]

I read an article somewhere on t'internet about a guy who used an old helmet visor and taped it upside down to the top of his screen 'cos he was too tight to buy a new screen or a laminar lip.

He says it removes all of the problems with his old screen, i.e helment buffeting, noise etc. and cost him a few pence to do.

I am going to bodge one on my stock '10 screen this weekend with gaffer tape and see what its like....

Anyone else tried something like this?

[cpettifer]

Nope, but I need a new helmet soon - so may try out the same thing with my old visor if I get one! Let us know how you get on.

[GTRPete]

Will do.  I'll get some photos up over the weekend as well

[GTRPete]

Bodged the visor on to my screen with duct tape - looks nice and solid.  Will chuck the photos on tomorrow when I get to work. 

Doesn't look pretty, but then again neither do I....

It works a treat.....

It does make the screen wobble a bit though

Just be mindfull then that it doesn't cause undue stress to the screen pulley system, £600+ to replace I gather.  :o

Old visor attached to the top of the screen with duct tape?
On a 1400 GTR?
I wouldn't want to be seen dead on that. :o

So, are screens like the really big Calsci ones OK?

[Lonewolf]

Its a suck it and see I'm afraid. There's only been one example on here where the screen pulley failed and he was lucky to get it replaced under the Kwak warranty. I think the odds of it failing are extremely slim however. I have a taller aftermarket screen on mine and I have never experienced any problems but clearly it can happen.

[GTRPete]

Yeah proved the concept - now took it off 'cos it looks bloody awful.  Apparently you can get a cheap lip for the screen from M&P in Swansea quite cheap...

Sounds like a very good idea to me have been experimenting with my screen, one of them Teutonic flip things that doesn't work, see my post screens a slight improvement on the other forum,
