Try one of these seen here http://www.xt660.com/showthread.php?t=10165

It cured the buffeting/turbulence for me 100% and it has a practical use also. Use it as a small bag if you dont want/need sat nav. My bag is on all the time now even if the tomtom isnt fitted.

works a treat and you can shape it with scissors to suit your own personal needs

I went a similar route as Pete and installed the Tuareg Lenkertasche from Heinz Garlick. It gives me some extra storage space and cures the buffeting entirely.

Hein Gericke bag works for sure, ten pounds well spent!

The bag has worked for me as well, and it's a useful place to keep the disc lock. I'm am still going to invest in the TT screen extender as well

Uh-huh. Pics from my old Dommie:

Click the above for the full-size picture

You can just about see the semi-circular flap that was attached to the bike as standard by Honda.

I have checked a BMW 800 GS last week.
The BMW had a turbulence stopper in the fork gap also.
It consists of two pieces, one in the front and one in the back of the fork.
Together it�s a full circle. At some details you can see really good solutions at the BMW.

The shape of the Tenere fuel tank around the fork is making it difficult to use a solution like this. Because the gap isn�t a circle.
I believe this part of the Tenere was designed on a Monday Morning. ;)
