Hay peeps =)
Using airwings with the sidecar, is it best to direct the air between the bike and the sidecar or deflect the air away from the gap between the bike and sidecar. Not sure there is a best answer here? Miles if you can't understand my English suck it up buttercup!

Almost like an oil thread, Steve! So many variables and so many desired outcomes. Give it a whirl and let us know what works!
Illegitemi non carborundum est!
just my 2 cents here, on my 1500 I found if I turned the right vent wing straight front to back, that was the best position to divert the air flow to reduce the air hitting me in the side of my shoulder and helmet coming off the car. But as Thane said it is a trial and error kind of thing to find what suits you best
Cal--would a floor vent reduce buffeting around the head? Hard to imagine but then again yes, maybe, yes. Aerodynamics and flow and drag with a sidecar rig is very weird. I had a GL1800 with a Champion sidecar (with a fixed windscreen) and buffeting was a problem no matter what angle I set the air wings at.
(No floor vent. In fact, passenger cabin normally sealed with a tonneau cover.)

I guess maybe I misunderstood about the need for air flow. I thought it was to direct air onto Sam,,,,,lol.
Cal my mistake my Escort sidecar has two vents to the outside, one in the lower floor and one in the hinged top half. I suspect air blowing through will smooth things out. Lets see what Sam makes of it.
