YES ... I really really like the "Vapour Trails" album. The remixed versionfrom 2013 is much better .

The story behind Ghost Rider is very sad. He lost his first family within a short period.

A big Rush fan here.  My first album was "Power Windows" in the 80s and I bought every Album which was released aftwards.
Years later I discovered the whole discography.

My favorites: "Permanent Waves" and "Moving Pictures".

I always link Jaap to Rush ... the Starman avatar and ...

The reason is the shitty Piaggio Guzzi portfolio. No dealer can survive with this!

I *think* I have a set of these in a box somewhere... that I meant to install.  I found the instructions as I was going through and organizing my documentation for the LeMans the other night.

Did you have to raise the forks in the triples at all or very much to get the clamps on the forks above the triples?  I think I remember looking at them and noting that they were taller than the OEM bar clamps.

When I had me V11 Le Mans Rosso Corsa, I mounted DÄS-Mototec handlebars.
You can see them here:

They are quite expensive but were worth every cent.

I just test rode the CalVin with my "homemade Laminar Lip" yesterday. The buffeting and the wind noise is a bit less but I could not feel a difference to my test-setup with tape.

 

[California Vintage]

From the piece I have cutt off of my second windshield I have created my homemade "Laminar Lip".

I will test this solution next week. The 3M Duo Lock pads should stay untouched for 48h if possible.
I must admit this looks ... strange...

[Guzzi/Aprilia engines by Piaggio]

I wrote in another thread that I was impressed by the V85TT engine/gearbox. This engine should be used for all smal block Guzzis.
Will we ever see a new 1100 or even 1200 ccm engine?

Buffeting and wind noise is always a topic when you have a windshield. Unfortunately the shape (radius) of the  Vintage shield seem to increase this.

My first idea was to shorten the windscreen (I bought an used one for testing). This did not work at all. Wind noise and buffeting got worse.
I cut off 11 cm at the top so the shield top was approx. on the height of my neck. Maybe this solution works for tall guys.

So the the right way to go seems to be a taller shield.
Then I added the piece I cut off to my original windshield:

I adjusted the height (+3,5 cm) so that it was still possible for me to look over the shield.
Result: Better than the original windshield.

The easiest solution is to bring the original shield in the most upright position.
I had to cut off a bit of the shield above the headlight and I had to enlarge the upper holes of the holders (12,5 instead of 11,5 mm)

With this procedure I have no buffeting up to 120 Km/h.
You still have wind noise but a bit less than before.
Next step: Homemade Laminar Lip

 

Original:

90%

80%

80% & shorter

110%

My conclusion:  110% will work best
