Hi all

I am wondering whether anyone out there has a Viento with an aeroscreen?

I am beginning to think about the practicality of having nothing and then possibly having to wear a crash helmet everytime I go out etc. and the complications with passenger helmets etc. and the whole "fun" seems to go out of the car (if you get what I mean...)

What kind of speeds can you drive without a helmet on without getting your eyes dried out and your head blown off?

Does an aeroscreen improve things enough to all but forget about a crash helmet (apart from motorways etc)?

What aeroscreens are available for the Viento?

Just after some thoughts/advice really!

Cheers

i got a chunk of lexan for £20 and made my own, but i'm tight.

from past experience even with a full screen you get your head blown off!!! Side screens are a must.

well done on sva btw

I made my own out of some 6mm polycarb
I now what you mean it's not the same with a helmet on
Try a fly screen and some wiley x sg1(look on ebay USA alot cheaper)
a lot better

I have a screen on My viento. I can sit around sixty with no problem and have sat at ninety a cople of times but that gets a bit blowy.
I think side screens or some version to prevent buffeting would be a good idea .

The wind buffeting becomes a real pest even at 60/70 for any more than 20mins.

Side screens maybe on the way for me.

I like nothing more than doing 90 with my buggy’s screen folded flat. So what if the wind is incredible and I can hardly breath, just adds to the feeling of impending doom love it. Windscreens are for pansy’s

90 with no aeroscreen or screen!!!

Them bugs will be like bullets!!! I don't fancy having to go to the dentist to tell them a bumble bee knocked my teath out

As a bove for short blasts, on track of course, I can drive right up to the max speed. However by then my helmet is being lifted off my head unless I keep my chin down. Fly screen fitted and rigid side panels have helped a lot. Though I take them off on track as they restrict the elbow room.

I've driven with just goggles before and its great having the full effect but even just fine grit and particlulates from diesels can really sting!

I used to wear sunglasses but they blew off, not forgetting my baseball cap and my tax disk ahhh! I never did find it

If I see a bumblebee coming I duck. As you say grit stings and does any type of rain including drizzle. Don't care but probably should be wearing the bike helmet but that makes my head shake...

I use to fly flex wing microlights but it was always spoiled by the wind shaking or vibrating my head. Flat out (about 70mph) everything was just a blur, pity.

I don't have a screen of any sort on my Indy and find a decent pair of glasses fine, and nicer than using a helmet for short runs even at highish speeds.

Just think of it as a 4 wheel motorbike!

Hi, how comfortable, and dare I say it, stylish, are these goggles/glasses in the flesh?
