What type of
plastic does AeroFlow use?
The plastic we use is Implex Plus manufactured by Atoglas North
America. Implex impact acrylic sheet combines the UV stability and
other physical properties of standard acrylic sheet with impact
strength that is SIX TIMES greater than standard acrylic.
Implex sheet is suitable for outdoor and indoor applications where
impact strength is critical. IMPLEX Impact Acrylic sheet offers
impact resistance along with excellent weatherability, clarity and
processing characteristics. IMPLEX sheet combines the well known
weatherability of Acrylic with proprietary impact resistant
chemistry, producing a tough clear material. These properties
along with outstanding thermoforming characteristics provide a
superior material for today's more demanding applications.
IMPLEX sheet incorporates proprietary technology that results in
significantly greater toughness than standard Acrylic sheet.
IMPLEX sheet resist hazing, surface dullness and progressive
yellowing.

Are AeroFlow
screens D.O.T. approved?
Yes, our screens are D.O.T approved. We stamp each screen with
D.O.T. and all relevant numbers, which is important if you live in
a state with vehicle registration inspections.

Why do
AeroFlow screens work better than others?
We make screens that offer more protection with less buffeting by
utilizing these basic design concepts:
Compound vs. Simple Curves - We use compound curves in our designs
to add strength and create a more aerodynamic shape to better
control the airflow. For instance, an egg shape is more
aerodynamic than a flat or can shape.
Airfoils & Laminar Flow - Our definition of Laminar Flow is
different than the technical definition of Laminar Flow. We do
this to help the customer understand how and why our windscreens
work.
Our definition of Laminar Flow is: Air "sticking" to the frontside
and the backside of the windscreen, with slower moving air on one
side & faster on the other. When this air connects, it smoothes
out the air leaving the top of the screen. This smooth airflow
hits the lip at the top of the screen and kicks it 4-6" higher
than a screen without this design. This lip and the screen has to
be designed perfectly for this to happen. Other screens may have
this lip but if it is not engineered to work with the rest of the
screen it will not have the same results.
-
Why a 2-piece fairing
design?
Use of this concept allows us to design an air intake between the
body (lower half) and windscreen (upper half.) The intake relieves
back pressure and allows Laminar Airflow. The body is designed to
direct air down and away from the bike. These solutions are called
Half Fairings and provide more coverage than a windscreen, but not
full fairing / touring comfort, which is why we have designed
AeroGards.
-
What are AeroGards?
AeroGards (also know as Fairing Lowers) are designed to direct air
away from the legs and torso that comes around the gas tank. By
redirecting that air they also help maintain the integrity of the
fairing's envelope of protection, in some cases they nearly double
the effectiveness. While designed to work in conjunction with our
fairings they should improve the performance of any larger than
stock screen.

What is Dual-Lok?
Dual-Lok (TM) is an
industrial strength interlocking fastening system made by 3M (TM).
Dual-Lok attaches to your bike or headlight with an adhesive
backing safe for motorcycle/automotive applications. Each piece
has mushroom shaped stems which interlock together to form a
strong secure hold. An audible "snap" is heard once Dual-Lok is
engaged, taking the product off is just as easy. Dual-Lok
circles, squares or strips are available from AeroFlow, please
call us to place an order.
*Remember - When you apply an adhesive backed fasteners, the
bonding surface must be clean, dry and free of contaminates.
Rubbing down the fastener after application will improve contact.
Please Note: Dual-Lok is not a warranty item. The mounting surface
must be completely clean for Dual-Lok to adhere correctly. If the
mounting surface is cleaned properly the Dual-Lok will stick.
Dual-Lok should be replaced every 12-18 months, depending upon
wear and usage.

How dark is the smoke
screen?
The smoke color is part of the plastic. It is not painted on
or a film tint, so you do not have to worry about the smoke color
peeling or scratching. The plastic is dark black, not brown or
gray. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being opaque, it would rate a 8 1/2".
