Viento Aeroscreen
B33fy - 30/1/16 at 09:56 PM

Just a quick one, as you may be aware Aerodynamix make an Aeroscreen for the Viento and I believe some previous enquiries were made by some on here. Following an enquiry made by myself, the new owner has contacted me to let me know that Aerodynamix, will be back in business late Feb/early March. I'm definitely ordering one from them and am pushing to get it made asap. If anyone else is interested post up and I can make some enquiries regarding a multiple order.

They have a spare Viento scuttle for test fitting, have made a mould and completed one for a customer, if you click on the link and scroll down, there are some images of a blue Viento with one fitted, just click on the images to enlarge.

I prefer Pete and Beck's (Perci) but having ridden in several Viento's with a screen, without any screen and also with just a small deflector I think you need something !

I might be interested. Although a was thinking of making a full windscreen. Dunno how yet.

I might be interested as well. There was a thread on here somewhere about whether aeroscreens do any good though. I'm quite tall and have padded seats, so it may be that it would just deflect more of the air into my face! Without one though, my head (in crash helmet) gets a bit of a battering from the wind on a motorway journey. Any thoughts?

That said, the Viento does look a bit naked without any sort of screen. My Viento is the same colour as the one in the demo picture and it does look quite good.

Depending on how long it takes them to get up and going, would there be potential to collect from Stoneleigh and save the postage?

From memory, The Viento scuttle is around 1150mm, hence the need for a purpose built one.

Please don't put my name down for one, as I already have issues seeing over the steering wheel
