David,
Any windshield will amplify your bikes engine noises, especially a full
fairing. If you are so inclined do not do any adjustments to your engine.
Take the fairing off and see if you hear any wierd noises. If not then you
know it is the fairing. Good luck, Bob

Subject: Strange Eldo Noises


 
I got back from a 300 mile ride on my Eldo, with a new windshield. It may
be my imagination, but I seem to hear much more noise from the motor than
I
 was familiar with. Made me nervous, so I checked the torque on the heads
and re-set the valves. Could this just be the windshield bouncing back
more
 noise? I am hoping it is nothing more serious, and I have never ridden
with
 a windshield before, so your opinions? Someone mentioned to me that it
could be piston slap...what would this sound like? My valves were
adjusted
 correctly when I checked them.

Thanks,
David Szenasy
