What can you do with a hand full of vortex generators? How about reducing the amount of drag produced by your motorcycle windscreen.

It was pretty easy to custom mold each vortex generator to the curve of the windscreen with a little heat. To adhere them to the windscreen I used some 3M VHB tape. The big question, do they work? Actually, they do!

I might not have access to a wind tunnel but the next best thing to get an idea of how much of an effect just might be observing drops of rain while riding. Before putting the vortex generators on the windscreen rain and spray from the road would collect on the windscreen and eventually run up to the edge then get sucked down into the low pressure area behind it. With the vortex generators in place, the drops of water run up to the top edge like before, but then get sucked up and over my head by one of the vortexes created by a generator. At highway speeds it is also much quieter behind the windscreen which is a plus as well. Overall it has turned out to be a pretty successful experiment.
