nikster Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Hey ER-6n owners - do any of you have a windshield they can recommend? I find speeds above about 130 very uncomfortable due to the wind. I have heard some wind screens don't work very well. Anyone has one that they're happy with? How fast do you go with it? [getting my Givi side boxes from Kawa CM this week, and a proper helmet too, will probably help with higher speeds as well. My Kawasaki/Real is losing the matte black color, it seems to just peel off and now it looks like @ss, and it's very windy at thigh speeds, and it's a little too short for my big farang nose....] So anyway, while I am at the dealers, I want to get a windshield too. Ordering Helmets online is tempting with the huge price difference but don't you need to try a helmet on before you buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) I am selling my seat cowl off my candy burnt orange ER6n for anyone who wants one. It has been sprayed in UK by Dream Machine Race Paints so the quality is superb. Selling for 6000B inc shipping in Thailand.

HTWoodson put a Givi screen for a Z1000 on his ER6n and it looked great, but unfortunately after a small accident it got torn off and he left it laying in a ditch in Laos somewhere... I'm sure if you do a little searching you can find the pictures he posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff nikster, yes you do have to try a helmet before you buy, I did exactly that at the dealer on Sukhumvit Pattaya with one of their AGV helmets (Rossi replica) and found out that my size is medium (57-58cm). Most of the helemts here are 60cm + which is large. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Guns Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I added the Givi Screen from Kawasaki Mityon, it was 6000 Baht. It looks great The only problem is the wind force is still just as strong at speeds over 120KPH One of my mates bought a Ninja 650R and he said he also feels the wind on that despite the screen and fairing. I guess its because of the upright riding position and the high bars. Never mind it suits me as I'm not a speed freak and it makes me more aware of the speed I'm travelling at. I find the bike is comfortable and rock solid at 100-120KPH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a can of some awesome stuff back in Oz, which I intended on bringing back here, but guess what? I forgot, the can is sitting on my mates work bench, its white, its new and it doesnt come off. Anyway, Im virtually lubless minus some Sonax spray oil crap, which flies off everywhere & evertime I go into a bike shop and ask for it around here they give me the duh! look, just use oil from the engine.....god help me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I saw a new kit that has chain wash and wax in the one box but I didn't get the price. Their web site says it's only distributed in Oz and South Africa....so it's probably no good for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to bin it, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. Methinks you are using far too much, hence the fling and mess...

nikster Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Your friendly neighborhood Kawa dealer would be good. That's where I got it, and they washed my chain for me too. Now I am all blue. Skipped the luggage - Givi hard side cases for 40k baht seemed excessive, particularly given the decidedly hum-ho quality of the fit and finish. Also, they're too wide, not practical for city traffic & I don't need that much storage room. They open side-ways too, which is baffling. Stuff will fall out every time you open them. I know there are straps, but why not make them top loading? So my christmas presents this year are a tiny puig clear screen. It may not help much - we'll see - but it certainly is very pretty. And a nice Arai lid - my first real helmet. I've been a good boy this year I am seriously thinking about the very nice alpinestar leather jacket, but at 25k it's probably a lot cheaper to buy elsewhere and ship here.
