The ultimate solution to reduce helmet vibrations caused by the fork tunnel updraft.
Olde Phart @ ADVrider.com Forum
The SWEGOTECH Forkshield is the perfect solution to reduce helmet vibrations/wind buffeting. On many adventure-touring motorcycles like the amazing Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports the upwind from the fork tunnel hits your helmet and can cause annoying and loud turbulence. Especially if you prefer to ride with a very practical and nice looking ADV helmet with a peak and flip-up visor.
This forktunnel updraft will hit your dual-sport helmet peak from below. These violent upwinds can be strong enough to shake your helmet. This is not only loud and uncomfortable, but also dangerous because it can cause blurry vision, headache and even neckpain on longer motorcycle tours. Furthermore you can feel this upwind also on your shoulders/chest area and bugs and dirt can also come through the fork tunnel.
So, when you find it hard to read street signs due to the vibrations on your head when driving 50mph (80Km/h) or faster, our SWEGOTECH Forkshield is the solution you are looking for. Many riders install expensive third party windscreen in the hope to reduce these helmet vibrations. In most cases it does not bring the solution these bike owners are looking for, because even the biggest windshield can only stop the wind from the front and not stop the real reason for the problem, the upwinds coming from your fork tunnel. The SWEGOTECH Forkshield works also perfect in combination with larger third party windshields. It deflects the airflow enough to help reduce the helmet vibrations, but still lets enough air through at the front of the fork tunnel to avoid a vacuum effect behind the windshield. Taller riders experience the helmet vibration problem even more often due to their higher riding position, the forktunnel wind can catch their helmet peak even easier. Also the very practical flip-front modular adventure helmets are more prone to these kind of vibrations. Usually their peak is only mounted at two points of the helmet. Helmets with stronger peaks on the other hand will cause more stress on the neck muscles. But we have the solution to fix all this!
