windscreen removed - big difference

Craig,
I am 6 ' 2". Your setup may be ok with the larger screen.
I have a wee strom as well. Standard screen setup creates huge buffeting at the helmet for nearly all. A bracket that extends the windscreen outward about 2 to 3 inches (Madstad bracket) - has made a big difference. It basically relieves the negative pressure behind the screen and hence the air turbulance. I suggest that your setup may well have a similar problem with the negative pressure to the wee strom. Maybe a laminar lip may help if there is a problem
Anyway, stand up on the pegs and see if it makes a difference. Work from there.

We picked up the 1993 KLR yesterday. It's missing a bunch of parts and needs a little TLC, but I was able to jump the starter and get her to fire over. With any luck and a bit of cash, we'll have her back on the road in a month or two. Right now I gotta strip the bike to replace some of the wiring and make a complete parts list of things needed. I'm hoping to find a parts bike in the area that I can raid for parts, but if not then EBay is going to be my best friend. Somehow I can't figure it out though. My friend gets the bike...I get all the work?

That's the sign of true friend. You know you have a real when the going
gets tuff and they don't bale out on you.Someone who does't mind
getting there hands dirty.Someone who shows up on moving day. That
person you can call in the middle of the night to bail you out jail.
GOOD FOR YOU
