Screens

[stevierst]

I had a tiger 1050 before my fz1, and the ind noise left me deaf even with earplugs in. The FZ1 has a touring screen on, and its awful. Noisy as hell! I rode at my normal cruising speed and lifted my butt off the saddle an inch or so at a time until the noise was bearable. I did this several times in various weather conditions until I found the right height.

I took the screen off and chopped about an inch and a half off, reprofiling the screen to its original shape. Took it for a test ride, and voilla! A tuned screen that is now fairly quiet!
