I overcame turbulence on my bike by building up the seat. I originally did it to get my knees straighter, but it had the other side benefit. Gets my noggin out...
Yeah, I meant "tank panniers" rather than a typical top-side tank bag. Also I've thought of getting a full-face helmet..... I was also thinking of fabricating...
I'm not sure you'll be happier with a full-face helmet. At least that has been my experience. The air comes up on either side of the tank and goes right up the...

Charlie, I have owned and sorted two Quotas. I have tried two windshields that were pretty effective. The Swanee in a cut down height worked very well and is...

... When I forst got my Quota I noticed a strong tendency for the wind to try to twist my torso back & forth. Also after long rides I noticed my shoulders hurt...
PS- I forgot to mention... the stock windshield on the Quota is rediculouly low. I was fortunate to get a SECDEM wich is taller than stock but smaller than...
