Wouldn't braiding it cause it to be more like a whip?? [sm=outcold.gif]



"lowers" should solve your problem.

Does the RKC have the wind baffle mounted on the triple tree? I put one on my RK and it really pulled the direct wind off of my face. It still blows a bit but, better than before. If you don't have one, try it.

How about tying on some fishing weights or heavy washers.

Beards and RK's were born for each other.

ORIGINAL: Philt

This might seem like a weird post, but I have a little problem that maybe someon else here has encontered. I have a fairly long beard. I ride a RKC with a full windshield. The problem that I have is the wind come up from undeneath and blows my beard uo into my face and kinda beats me in my cheeks. If it gets any longer it will be in my eyes (and I'm not cutting it). Does anyone know of anything that you can get that cuts off the airflow from below? Some kind of add on to the windshield or something.

You need a chrome air baffle. It costs less than 25 bucks at your dealer and can be installed in 5 minutes.

Wear a shirt with a collar, tuck it in the front and button up, always worked for me!

Have the same problem...wind deflectors won't work, they cut down the wind comin up from under the wind screen it doesn't stop it completely and the beard still whips around.

Rubber bands...

Yeah, the "Lou Albano" look should work. Just use fresh rubber bands. You don't want them to start breaking at 70 mph.
