Tom,
Your certianly onto something here. I went to the local Home Depot and got some plexi, madea quick panel to cover the opening around the headlight (it wasnt perfect and still left some gap). I didnt go as low as you did (I have a light bar) BUT the result was interesting to say the least. Ill post a pic later this morning.
I did a test run on the hwy and got up to 80/90. I still had some buffeting at higher speeds BUT it was significantly reduced at legal speeds.
Im going to go out and do some direct comparison one day this week and report back.
Tom, Thank you for the time and effort youve put into this and then sharing with everyone!
********** as promised...pictures of my attempt at Toms mod:
before
after (the protective plastic is still on the plexi), you can see some of the gap thats still left over). I fastened it by allowing it to rest between the light bar and lower yoke, I used a couple zip ties at teh top to hold it to the forks.
I think, per Toms observations, I need to close up some of the gap around the light and maybe add a small peice under the light bar to eliminate what seems to be the remainder of the buffeting.
Ill say it again...without Toms post I never would have thought of this as being the cause/cure for the buffeting.
Thanks for sharing!
