laminar lip K75c
« on: August 04, 2014, 08:51:54 PM »
Can anyone provide some feedback on the "Lip" being used on a K75c model?

Looking for something to bump the flow up a bit and this is about the only option I've found besides a full windshield.

I have a 75c with the laminar lip. It did improve things, but I'm not quite satisfied. I'm tallish (193 cm) so the helmet still catches some turbulence. I'm planning to experiment with changing the angle of the lip to see if that helps.

Another source for windshields for the K75, including the "C" model.

BTW, if anyone has one of these tall "C" shields mounted on the bike I sure would like to see it.

Bump.  Curious if there is any further comment on either the Laminar Lip or Gustaffson 6" tall screen for the C-fairing. 

I have a '94 K75 (low seat) with the C bikini fairing and would like some more wind protection.  Another question, will the BMW windshield fit with the C fairing installed?

The bottom opening of the BMW OEM windshield is designed to fit relatively closely to the top and side dimensions of the OEM instrument cluster; the K75C fairing would obstruct that, Jack.

That's what I was afraid of since I'm not sure of the naked headlight surround dimensions.  I was hoping the area at the front of the headlight was similar and the windshield could fit in front of the fairing.

I purchased the below Laminar Lip shield already attached to the smoke scene from a cool inmate on here.
This was just what I was after, this set up directs the wind right above my helmet.

My Dad did own this bike prior to gifting it to me. He had a Rifle Fairing on it. I didn't care much for it, he also used it with the touring bars, I swapped them off regular C bars and put the stock C fairing back on.
