So Gat, do you have any solutions to this situation with the floating? Anyway to add some stability?

The Ohlins steering damper I have fitted seems to have settled the front end nicely, though I am yet to do any decent miles and acceleration testing with loaded panniers.
 
I just ordered the larger touring screen.
Like always, it's not on stock. I hope it doesn't take as long as the heated grips to get here.....
Also ordered a water pump protector and an engine guard on ebay.

Bling time.....

Regards.
 
Hyperpedro- may be a stupid question but where did you find your Ohlins steering damper? Is it just a universal fit?

Did you already put your larger touring screen on your bike? How does it feel?
Last sunday I rode 50 km on the highway and my head was wobbling. I'm 1,88 tall and the wind hits my helmet on top. So instead of the sportier Carbon windshield, I may obtain for the bigger screen.
 
I am wondering why so many owners are having problems with wind blast. My Strada still has the stock screen. I've done some long days at high speeds without discomfort, and I'm 6'1" (1.85m). Could it be the helmet? My Bell Star has good aerodynamics, and any ADV helmet with a bill would likely be quite tiring.

My Trophy 900 would buffet my head side-to-side constantly. A taller screen was no better. One UK magazine described it as "like going 10 rounds with Muhammad Ali." My wife, on the back, thought I was doing it on purpose.

PS I'm not fond of lager, I'm more of a Guinness guy. Or Real Ale if I can get it!
 
I have a decent helmet and it cuts the wind fine. I've noticed it gets calmer when I stick my helmet out above the buffet coming off the top of the screen.

Like I've stated, it's my shoulders and upper body that get beat up. However, it's worse in the afternoon when the sea breeze is really strong on the highway. When I ride early morning the air is very calm and clean.

I just need more shoulder protection.
 
Laminar Lip

I installed the Laminar Lip last week before a 3 day trip and sure glad I did! Took a run up to the Grand Canyon and then started towards Zion Park via the 89a. The wind was strong but from the south but as we turned north the wind started to change around from the north. I don't know how strong it was but we ended up halfway between Page and Flagstaff head on into a horrid wind on a two lane road so we turned around to run with the wind. The Laminar Lip was a godsend - it pushes the wind up and over my helmet making the bike feel way more stable. Considering the attachment points look like simple velcro tabs the Lip held up no problems. Half the cost of the Ducati 'big screen' at $79. I can't speak to the Ducati touring screen but the Lip works great for me.
 
Maybe some Guys should go for the BMW C1 and you don't need a helmet ;)

Guys, its a Ducati HYPERSTRADA!!!!!!

Hello fellow Hyperstrada Riders,

i have a specific question to the Puig multiregulable visor.

Cobra3380
i have seen the pictures of your windscreen and wanted to ask, if the visor would also fit the standart screen on the strada.
and which visor did you use, the clip on or the screwed.

Also i wanted to ask if it brings any improvement in windpressure, to install the visor on the standart screen.

I´m 1,86 tall and have tested about 5 helmets in the 400€ Price class and they are all really noisy on the strada.
So i wanted to make a little improvement, without doing too much.

Thanks for your answers
SH
 
Guys, a big thing to consider if you feel knocked around in the shoulders is the vehicle in front of you. How close are you following? Is it a small coupe, or a van or suv?

Even with no windscreen you shouldn't get any crazy buffeting, just a constant wind force if you are riding in clean air. It's the vehicle's turbulent wake that causes a lot of "dirty" air.

Good point, but not an option on congested hwy's for everyday commuters. I will not be the old guy doing 5 under the speed limit in slow lane just to have the most enjoyable ride.

I live near the coast and the afternoon sea breeze can cause quite a bit of turbulence cutting through the tree slash of the hwy, even in mild traffic. Morning air is much cleaner.
