Wind Protection For An Air-cooled Hyper

Discussion in 'Hypermotard' started by number9, Jul 12, 2021.

  1. My 2008 HM1100S has stock bodywork and thus no real windshield. What are the options for a setup where 2 hours of highway riding won't leave me battered? At a hair under 6'4" there's a lot of me exposed to the wind.

    Should I go aftermarket or will OEM bits off a HyperStrada fit? It doesn't need to be electric or retractable or anything; I just want some protection even if it looks a bit shit.
     
  2. I don't think there was a Hyperstrada before the 821/939, so the front-end bodywork could be completely different to the older air-cooled 1100...

  3. I think you may have got the wrong bike!
    I too have an 1100s and am only 6’2”, basically there is no wind protection but that’s what makes it so fun and feel so alive!
    I had a ST4S before and that had so much protection it felt slow, but was actually going far too fast!

  6. I had a PUIG screen on my 796 hyper, I don’t know if they make one for your model.
    May be worth a look though. AEB51A87-92EC-42C5-A7A6-1A676D174AFE.jpeg

  7. Meh - its was designed to be a raw bike....putting wind protection on an old hyper is like putting lipstick on a pig... :)
