windscreen whisle

[mbramley]

 I put a new Memphis Shades  windscreen this summer. It whistles. It's coming from the bottom right corner, I can put a couple of fingers on the bottom edge and it stops. I tried filing a little on it thinking smoothing it out a bit might help. It didn't. Before I destroy my new windscreen I figured I'd better ask if anyone else has had this and how they solved it. I'm guessing that may be why I got a deal on it.

Be sure all fasteners are properly tightened. If need be , put a small piece of gasket material in that corner by the screw mount.

Won't look great, but a custom cut piece of hard foam rubber jammed in there will quiet it down.

I had this same problem years ago. I took some clear scotch tape and wrapped it around the perimeter of the right turn signal and believe it or not, it stopped the whistling on my 2003 Walk with a stock Hondaline windshield.

Hope it works for you!

  Thanks for the replies, they started salting around my parts so she is put up for the winter now. I will try these come spring. I really hoped I would have a couple more rides this year. That is except taking it off. I've tried that a couple of times over the years and I don't care for it. I guess I'm a wimp.
