Wind Noise
« on: April 05, 2007, 08:13:02 AM »
I'm new to the sport bike corner and was curious about the wind noise I experience from the helmet. I wear a shoei 1000 series helmet and ( ride 07 Busa ) WOW it gets noisey above 80 mph. I purchased the double bubble and it helped some when tucked in but I still get turbulance noise in the rear of helmet were air dam is. Different helmet? Or just nature of the beast?

Hmm...that's weird, if the wind noise is REALLY bad maybe the helmet doesn't fit quite right or something.  I've never worn a Shoei but I thought they were supposed to be pretty good. :?  Sometimes I put the IPOD shuffle on if I'm on a long ride though and I don't notice the wind at all. :wink:

A properly fit helmet (tight around the cheeks) should eliminate a good part of that wind noise. I still recommend staying away from ear plugs or iPods for safety reasons.

You know, I wish someone would post " how a helmet should fit " because when I purchased my bike the feedback on that  issue was not what I would expect from a dealer selling bikes that run 185 mph off the showroom floor. I know my heads a little fat so I went with the XL. Now I wonder if a large would have done the trick. Lets see....that was 400.00 uh let me try another...Shoot for 6 this time...sweeeeeet. NOT

put the helmet on and shake your head around,  if the helmet moves freely from your face its too big.
