If you ride in reverse at speeds over 20mph, does the noise sound completely different, like 180* from what it sounds like now?

That didn't take long. Almost 24 hours. The OP had 14 previous posts and will neeever be back.
Since it's raining in Houston, here are a few topics for discussion this weekend.
  • How do I get rid of buffeting at 85+?
  • What are the best tires?
  • What is the best windshield?
  • What oil do you use? Mine is the best!!
  • I have a wobble in turns doing 80. Does anyone else have this?
Have a great weekend,
Rob

I dry my bike with a leaf blower, and I notice a whistle from my highway pegs, my engine cooling fins, and my axle nut. I have not tried a frontal air blast on my fairing or vents, but I will next time. I wold like to have a whistle free motorcycle if possible.

Solution tailgate box trucks... If you get that front tire about 6” off the rear of the truck most of the wind noise is eliminated

I only get noise when doing counter clockwise circles. I think its due to the wind circulation coming off the Atlantic ocean. Any riders have experience with this phenomenon on the West coast.

Well Mstr....
This is response number 20 and you haven't responded. At this point I must assume you are a fake trouble making poster.

Thank you sir.... Godbye.
