Aeroscreen all the way! Must admit I don't bother with a helmet.

I bought some sunglasses that Harley riders use apparently. These are foam backed so fit snugly to your face and don't allow any inrush of air. This means I can see quite easily well into 3 digits at which point breathing becomes a bit of an issue. They look like ordinary sunglasses so I don't look too much of a tit....well more than usual anyway hehe A also use my bike in-ear defenders which cut most of the harmful noise but still allows you to hear enough to make it fun.

I do wince when lorries pass by though. Just waiting for that stone......
How much and where did you get them from? I've just gone aero'd and I love it, but at motorway speeds I think a crash helmet is a necessity. Goggles would be better for 'around town' though.

If you take out one of the fixing bolts on the side of the door pins and put the bolt through from the other side it will sr=crew straight into the racetech mirror with it bracket removed. You can still fit the door too.
