Hello every one, it seems that I have the same problem as a lot of Stryker's owners. I'm trying to find the best solution to eliminate the turbulence cause by the gas tank. Air that is deflected to the chess and eventually to the head. Any good solution from the members?

Sorry for my English, I’m French...

Do you have a wind screen? I think I get most turbulence from direct air flow over the bars at 75mph lol. Have never heard of the tank causing excess turbulence. I still refuse the screen. I love the chest smashing force of the wind.

I installed some lowers to help with mine. Helps some but not all of it.

I have the detachable tall windshield from Yamaha. but the Wind come from under and it's not very pleasant for my head!!

Hi SmokenJoe, and what will be the made and part number please?

I lowered my tall windshield by 4" by cutting the headlight notch 4" higher and drilling the holes for the bracket 4" higher. Wind tunnel problem solved and it looks good.Be careful not to scratch the windshield.tape it in the area you are cutting.

They are home made. From an old Honda Valkyrie lowers and a 41mm fork clamp.
Very similar.

Bonjour, Messeur. I have the 17" windshield and it helps divert the kinder, gentler American wind from my head.

Merci everyone.. I'll try your option SmokenJoe. Yesterday I put my foot near the flasher and it seams that if I put something in that area it will work.

I don't feel any wind when I have my "Spurs" Jersey on!

You spelled Monsieur wrong! Lol!
And to let you know, the wind up here in Canada is fresh and free, no customs at the border!
Starwar I had the same issue, so I installed the Memphis Shades Bullet and it pretty well eliminated the wind problem. Still a bit but a great difference.
