i cant ride toped out for more than a few minutes unless im full tuck cause the wind kills my neck so much from fighting it.is there anyway to be more areodynamic.i have a DB screen seat cowl and a cheap helmet.

Better helmet.....

Ride more often so your neck builds muscle?

 

[Autokon]

Do neck curls at the gym and/or get a better helmet.

 

[enoemos]

something else to look at is one of those race suits with the hump behind the neck/ back area

 

[Vermino]

double bubble windshield..

topped out? Seriously?

What kind of wind are you dealing with? Do you mean the wind coming over the windshield at high speeds or cross winds?

I don't have any problems with wind over the windshield up to around 75 MPH. I start going into a tuck at speeds over 75 MPH.

Cross winds are a different story I'm OK riding in wind up to around 25 to 30 MPH after that I just get to tired of the wind. Riding in high cross winds try staying in the center of your lane and just go with the flow it's no big deal.

Hope this helps!

don't do 160mph everywhere

Full throttle or no throttle, no? Whats a good aerodynamic helmet for 2-300$??will it make that much of a diference?

I know what you mean, it makes my eyes water and it messes up my hair.

My AGV XR-2 cost me $240 on sale on eBay (regular price is twice that I think) and it works wonders for me compared to my old Icon Mainframe.

 

[steedsta]

wax ur helmet!! makes it smoother!!!
get one of those neck braces u wear on a air plain j/k

no a lighter helmet may help. but yea. u just need to get use to it. strong wind will make any neck sore over a long time. not a few minutes though


im sure givin some bj's will make ur neck stronger!

Shark helmets are one of the lightest available. You'll get used to the wind after a while.

No

 

[steedsta]

full throttle or no throttle. first gear is a good cruising speed at redline

so does that mean your holding 170ish for 5 mins or so at a time? i tuck in whenever i go over 140 otherwise my neck starts to kane, i think most people are the same unless their necks are as thick as their legs. A helmet with vents over the top such as AGV's GP-TECH (or Arai RX-7 if your feeling flash) will keep your head more stable at high speeds + they will be lighter so less force pulling your head back.

 

[anarion55]

Ummmm.... slow the fuck down?

I can't imagine ANY reason to ride topped out for that long...

Try getting an HJC carbon fiber helmet it's much lighter than your standard helmets.
