Made this 3D model from the pic and measurments, gonna test print it and see if it fits. If so maybe someone wants it for their CNC stuff or draftings. Got it in curve data, surface and solid.

Top job there Molgan :hello2:


Do you have a 2D version in a .dxf by any chance?


Thanks,


Nick.

Not at the moment, but if I get some time over tomorrow at work I cook one up for you. ;)

Test Report:

Had a blat down the motorway today, I started without the guard, then put it on ,then took it aff and then put it on again !!

Without the guard there is a pulsing flow of air that comes up from around the forks, with the guard on then this is gone. However, I don't know if this is actually helping with anything.

I didn't feel any difference in handling or stability, but the jury is still out as to whether it's a usefull addition or not. I'm keeping it on for now and will report any further findings.


Nick.



P.S. I found the main problem I have is the vibration caused by the peak on my Tour-X, I changed the angle of the peak and it's made the problem better.

Nice bit of kit, looks really neat - I'd like to make one just to deflect the rain and surface water that creeps up the inside of your tank! (I only see it cus I have a white one!)

I have the TT screen fitted and it does make a noticeable difference but only sometimes...one day on the motorway its fine, next its severe turbulence. Its a bit random.

It seems to be more around air pressure or something, the shape of the Tenere means there's so much going on aerodynamically - at a guess I'd say two or three airflows are colliding at different speeds creating this issue. If that's the case then the fix will probably have to be two or three different parts. It would be really cool if someone had contacts at Southampton Uni so they could study the bike in one of their wind tunnels and test different concepts...

The more miles I do though, the more it becomes less of an issue - I guess you just get used to it and accept it as one if those quirks.

i agree - for me the prob was sorted same as Nick - lowered the peak on my tour-x and now the turbulence is nowt worth worrying about (with MM tall screen).

Sen't the .dxf to nick and he haven't complained about it yet, so if someone else want it PM me with a place to mail it. My computer at home comitted suicide so I'm not online much (only at work) but I'll send it asap.

eeerrr, thats because I haven't opened it yet.....sorry. The CAD package I use is installed in an XP partition as I use some older progs for my CNC, so haven't had a chance to look at it yet, will do later...honest ! :poke1:

Molgan,

I couldn't open that .dxf, said it was incomplete.

Don't spend any time on it for me, not sure if anyone else is still interested?



Nick.
