A Laminar Lip is a bit of plastic that directs the wind higher than your stock windscreen does. Here is [http://www.laminarlip.com/howwork.php Laminar's explanation] of how it works. They do make a couple models for the [http://www.laminarlip.com/ex250.php OEM windscreen]. If you have one of the taller non-stock windscreens you'll have to get one of the universal Lip models and make it fit. | A Laminar Lip is a bit of plastic that directs the wind higher than your stock windscreen does.

'''Opinion:''' In a word, WOW. Got the 14" cruiser style. Very pricey at $95 for what is basically just a little chunk of plexiglass. OTOH, the design is brilliant and the difference in wind noise is amazing. In my particular setup, it makes a way bigger difference than earplugs. | '''Opinion:''' In a word, WOW. Got the 14" cruiser style. Very pricey at $95 for what is basically just a little chunk of plexiglass. OTOH, the design is brilliant and the difference in wind noise is amazing. In my particular setup, it makes a way bigger difference than earplugs. I put the 14" Cruiser on an 18" wide x 24" tall tombstone-style windscreen I made. The 14" Cruiser is a general size / shape. Though it does have a little more curve than my windshield (the top of my screen is a little flatter) it still works nicely. The 14" looks like it might work with the Duke / Mike style screen as well. | ||
