Does anybody know how to stop helmet buffeting caused by this windshield? At 40 mph helmet vibration gets so bad that I can't see anything.

I do not have a problem with this. Consider either raising or lowering the screen a little.

Readjust your shield so wind deflects over your head. The shield is very adjustable. I have no such problem with mine

Try adjusting the pitch of the screen to be further from the visor or shield of your helmet. The attachment kit is flexible enough to work on my bike - and I ride an 81 goldwing interstate (no stock fairing) and max is a beast. I have to imagine it can work for you asWell - admittedly I have replacedThe windscreen with a batwing fairing but I use the same hardware to mount the fairing as I did this windscreen. It's good - I never had any issues running this windshield.

It's pretty adjustable, up & down, lean it back or straight. I'm in the Texas heat so raised mine a couple inches off the headlight to get some belly breeze. Maybe that helped pick the shield up high enough to clear my helmet too.

Try changing angle of windshield .I had same problem on first ride so I gave it a little tilt and works great now

try rasing rasing it small amount or moving forward small amount 1/2'' at atime

2 ways...1. Buy a taller windshield that pushes the air higher over your helmet...2. if you are able to, place the winshield at a taller height. I was only able to get mine lined up about 3/4 the height of my helmet and that was enough to cut it down almost completely. With that done I am able to gove well over 70 without it being a huge issue. Hope that helps!

It takes a little patience. The hardware allows for a lot of adjustment. Each bike is different. Slight adjustments in height, tilt and distance from your face can make a big difference. I brought the necessary tools to a parking lot near a highway to allow for quick adjustments and test runs.

...just "re-angle" your windshield..and if needed raise (or lower..depending how tall you are)..I am 6' tall and have no problems with this windshield.

Breath on the suction cup to get it slightly wet, press it hard against your windshield, then rotate the dial to lock it in place.I don't know what red thing your talking about, I don't see red things on it.I hope I was a help to you.

Hi...i had a different problem...my sound was like the pads were glued in the rotors after some breaking times the noise went away. I keep the kit installed and this noise disappeared after couple months of use but this disappointed me. I expect a better performance but its a nice kit!

Is not a silent helmet, I mean the level of noise and vent is annoying at highway speeds

Well, it's not a dampener, it's a camera mount. Any vibrations emanating from the mounting surface will also affect the mount. You need to put some sort of dampener between the mount and your gear or drive on a smoother road.

OMG I have this exact same problem. I thought it was something I did "wrong".Yes I keep tripping over it and it has become a hazard, such as when carrying hot liquids for example.And annoying to boot.

Very similar. I wear while riding motorcycle. Most wind noise is gone, I don't have to turn up music loud to hear well, that way I'm not oblivious to traffic

Just go buy some strong velcro. I got some at Home Depot. The helmet clips don't work well and are prone to break. I've been using the velcro for 2 years now and it's still working great.

My guess is no. I have the same problem and I've tried everything, like you. Every morning it's the same thing and I'm constantly rubbing it with a towel, to no avail. This didn't help either. I was told that with the newer cars, esp. those that have the rain sensor, there is a film on the inside of the windshield and I suspect that's the culprit. This is my first car with that feature and also the first time I've had this constant problem, so you aren't alone. I keep meaning to call the service manager at the car dealership but never have the time. Let me know if you have any luck. LA

You could try to rotate the front mount that the tube is mounted too. Might just need to be re-seated in a better position. Make sure it is also not touching any of the side walls, that could cause vibration.

I have the half windshield... and I liked it because it directed the wind up over your head. Dust NO! You'll get your backside pretty dirty. I recently installed a roof on it and now the windshield directs the wind right in my face... along with any rain too. Don't get me wrong.. I like it but didn't expect to get a face full. It does pull a lot of dust up from the back. I even tried laying the tailgate down... no good there either. I feel like a trail hand after a long cattle drive when I get to my destination.

Hi James, I couldn't keep mine attached to the helmet due to the glue not holding. I replaced it with a Cycle Aware Reflex, which is a similar system, but seems more secure and allows the mirror to be detached when the helmet goes into a gym bag or other place that might knock the mirror loose. I like the Reflex system well enough to have purchased two for two helmets.

I had that with a pair of misaligned glasses. Try adjusting the nose strap length. Just an idea.

I have the same problem. The foam is now buckled under the cover. Lots of money for inferior cover.

I have the same problem. I bought two and they both have the same issue. I feel I was sold defective products, my grandkids NEVER got to ride the junk.

Clean your windshield with glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol. Also it's good to slightly moisten the suction cup as well.

As others have described, the prongs go on alternative sides of the glasses or helmet visor and pinch to hold. How well does that work? Really well. I rode with the mirror on for many miles on my road bike and the hold was secure and the mirror stayed in the correct position even after normal bumps and road vibrations. I made the mistake of leaving the mirror on my helmet during a trail ride, and took a spill (actually, several) and the mirror came off during one of my crashes. Unfortunately, I did not notice the mirror was gone until miles later. I will be buying another (and not wearing it on trail rides).
