I ran a Insect height test last night

On Thursday I was out on the Dyna in the evening and my arms and face were pummeled by flying insects, and in case you live behind a windshield and a fairing, those things sting when they smack into you.

Last night I took out Charlene and conducted a height test. 

Most of the flying hazards maintain a low, one to two foot altitude, as you can see by the lowers


From the top of the lowers to just above the headlight appears to be the second populated flight height.

From the headlight up is the least populated zone, but bear in mind the aerodynamics of the fairing does push the insects away from impact.

The next process of this impact study will be the placing of a rider on a Dyna without a windshield. The rider will be wearing an insect impact determination suit.
